Holistic health, and healing, wholeness are key themes for me. They are coming together in my interests in Whole Foods, Plant-Based, nutrition and lifestyle and spiritual healing.

primaryAs co-founder of BCM Industries, these interests may gain a professional dimension in the context of autologous organ repair and related issues.

My own primariy business is about energy retrofitting as a property value enhancement, at the intersection of engineering, finance and economics. With rapid advances in energy technology, this is where the money is. Better than drilling for oil.

My prime focus is the economics of energy retrofitting and sustainability, and making on-site renewable generation a good investment with DaBx Demand Side Solutions. My goal is maximizing property values, while minimizing the environmental burden. Consultant and manufacturer's rep on energy retrofit solutions.
