About

My main focus is showcasing the best of humanity along with solutions to counter the unconsciousness of the worst of humanity.  Conscious River

 

I firmly believe that a higher level of consciousness needs to precede stewardship (care) of the natural world.  Once we have the collective mental/psychological capacity to cope with inevitable natural changes, we can begin to acknowledge and take action to clean up the global mess that past generations have left us. 

 

At the TGS in SF this month, The Social Entrepreneur Sector unanimously picked Personal Sustainability First as the top guiding principle for our sector.

 

Until Personal Sustainability is addressed FIRST, how can we expect anyone struggling in the world today, just for the basics of survival, to have any mental/physical/financial capacity to take any action to care for humanity or the planet in any significant way.

 

My formal studies have been mostly in Business and Photography, however I derive most of my knowledge/abilities from the many highly reviewed/rated books I have read since graduating with an AA from MT. San Antonio College in 2000. 

 

I currently work at an Investigative Firm in La Crescenta as a Systems Manager.

 

I use internet research tools to help cut through the fog of thought and information.

 

I try to dwell in and enjoy, the infinite power of every moment (life), as much as possible.

 

I hope to collaborate with others to help catalyze positive change.
