I am a serial entrepreneur (chronically unemployable) with over 35 years of experience founding and directing companies in a wide area of disciplines but with specific emphasis on environmental improvement and sustainability topics. I have taken two companies public. I was founder or co-founder of several companies that have grown to thousands of employees and billions of dollars of revenues. I have raised hundreds of millions in funding for ventures around the world. I am a farmer/rancher on a sustainable northern Colorado farm and I have played on a collegiate national championship tennis team and run multiple ultra-marathons. I am most proud of having four amazing adult children, a wonderful wife of almost 33 years (Deb) and having helped hundreds of entrepreneurs successfully start and run businesses. I currently coach, mentor and consult with business clients around the world. I am passionate about making our planet better for all future generations. I have considerable science (PhD), marketing/sales (I love to sell) and sustainability (I live it) experience and passion. Let me help you become what you want to become!
I have raised hundreds of millions of dollars of funding for start-ups, early stage, and established companies. This funding has covered all areas of financing from debt to equity. I am a creative financial advisor with a proven track record. I have consulted and trained many business leaders looking for financing.
