Bio

I am an acrobat, sustainable renewable energy leader, and a VR Producer. I was a member of the team which implemented the first Hydrogen Proton PEM electrolyzer at the APS Hydrogen fueling station in downtown Phoenix. Since high school I have had the opportunity in being part of the team which conducted testing of electric vehicles, and their charging systems, under contracts with the United States Department of Energy. I was probably one of the few who had the opportunity to “drive the pits” in a Formula One event, with an electric race car!

Traveling around the world a few times, and experiencing many cultures, convinced me of the importance of sustainability for all of us.

I believe in a clean future, with open equality for all.
