After a lot of years in software - starting my own company and helping with others I wanted something different - something local. This led me to becoming a mediator and arbitrator. I find peacemaking quite satisfying.

Most recently, I incorporated the Oasis Innovation Center. The mission at the Oasis is to provide the facilities and environment for continuous technology innovation in local food production and in local energy generation and storage for low water environments.

The Oasis is ideally located to support this mission. We are promoting a culture of hospitality, cooperation, and collaboration - to further education and to continually find and refine better ways to assure the supply of wholesome food and sustainable energy to the local community and beyond.

The Oasis is also a wonderful place to live!
