Born in the Territory of Alaska, I've been all over the world, even managed to get back up to Alaska in the commercial fishing industry, I lived in Berlin when the Wall was built, and moved to Albuquerque, NM, in time to see the city grow in all directions. I joined the Navy and went off to Vietnam, later graduated from the Defense Department Information Specialist School, and eventually became a newspaper editor-in-chief of a 12 page weekly paper. I finished my hitch, later joined the Army, went to Fort Benning, GA, and Officer Candidate School, served at Battery, Battalion and Brigade command levels, went to Germany and earned the Army Commendation Medal.

I will be moving to Ashland, Oregon, to establish my White Tiger Farm ... http://whitetiger511.tripod.com ... We will use high density growing systems, vertical farming in greenhouses, with outdoor 'Food Forest' plantings.

We have the opportunity to work with Dr. Katrina Cornish, to develop a natural rubber latex industry in the States, and will use the Kazakh Dandelion, and its latex rich roots. We will also use the desert 'rubber' plant, Guayule. Our country presently imports 1.5 million metric tons of natural rubber used to produce over 40,000 products, including tires. www.vantrumpreport.com/from-russian-dandelions-to-rubber-industrial-crops-closer-than-we-think

From Ashland we will develop other sites in Oregon, and other states. Global demand is projected to be 17 million metric tons in 2020.

Working with Millennium Airship, and the Airship Technology Group, we will help them build electric airships, large and small, with vertical takeoff and landing capability, for a wide range of uses, including shipping of natural rubber to manufacturers who need it.

My project is meant to be a showcase for new tech and materials to show all nations that we will be able to provide abundant food, water and energy for the generations to come, with a gentle footprint on the sacred land.
