Bursting Onto the Scene
On March 1, 1954, I was born in Paola, Kansas, about 17 hours after the Castle Bravo nuclear blast lit up the South Pacific. It was the largest explosion of a hydrogen bomb by the U.S. in history – 1,000 times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It was 2.5 times larger than expected, due to a wrong assumption and miscalculation.
My Background
At age 10, I vowed to find and promote the best solutions to the biggest problems at every scale. That’s been my primary mission in life. I've been on that mission literally since before all of the major party male candidates for governor of Colorado were born! My pioneering initiatives created headlines worldwide, even setting local news media records. [See: In the News page. Scroll to "Archived News". I was the first Vice-President of Special Projects for the DaVinci Institute.
Unifying Solutions
Many of the solutions I’ve promoted are extraordinary in both their affordability and effectiveness. That makes them unifying because they’ll appeal to a broad spectrum of the population. These solutions have been in sectors affecting most of the world. They include areas such as economic development, health, education, energy, public safety, criminal justice, agriculture, homelessness, environmental quality, world peace, counter-terrorism, and even disclosure of UFO secrecy. The last one is a hot topic in Washington D.C. these days and a popular issue worldwide.
Trillion-Dollar Economic Engines
Some solutions I offer have been predicted by financial institutions such as Bank of America, and Goldman and Sachs, to have trillions of dollars in economic impact over the next 25 years. I intend to make Colorado a global leader in these new economic engines. Unfortunately, Democrats and Republicans have ignored, and even obstructed breakthrough technologies to benefit themselves and special interests at the expense of the People.

Over the last 28 years, I’ve conducted three candidate campaigns and three ballot initiative campaigns. The initiatives attracted a phenomenal amount of unsolicited global news coverage. The candidate campaigns brought me good endorsements from well-known and influential community leaders. [See more at the Endorsements page]
Many of the solutions mentioned in my campaign are derived from and explained in greater length in my book, RAISE the ZONE. It was published on Amazon in March 2026 and is already in the Douglas County Library system collection. However, my SOLUTIONS BLUEPRINT contains many solutions that are not in the book.
I invite you to learn more about my background by reading Chapter 1 of RAISE the ZONE for free at: https://powerupbooks.com/chapter-one
Thank you for your time and attention. Raise the zone for a coherent Colorado!
