My whole life I have strongly valued communication and making sure the message is as properly received as it was sent. Misunderstood as a child and seemingly in my adult life I have worked constantly to ensure that I can understand others and they can understand me. Being the outcast for much of my life I saw how many issues were festering due to miscommunication and that most of the time people aren't mad or upset about a certain person just an event that they never resolved even after the initial emotional burst. Finding my individuality in high school through sports I went into college (2018) not knowing what would be there for me.

During my time in College I had a lot of interests such as who God was, what real health is, and what exists outside of this world I am in. I ended up taking a lot of general courses and found myself in communication classes. I became deeply invested in the classes and the models that they lectured on. The most fascinating thing to me was understanding how communication influences the idea of who one is. With a degree like communications I was always told there is no end goal with it and ultimately it is a dead end. Which is ironic due to society and culture being based on communicating. In the fall of 2019 my mother urged me to look at university programs in India that were started from a spiritual Guru named Amma. Looking at a program called Live-In-Labs, a program historically designed for engineers to alleviate the issues ranging from: farming, sanitation, water to many other thematic areas within India. I decided to apply. With my expertise in Communications, I did not have an area I could merge directly into like the engineers.

Communicating to the university in India about my field of study they asked if I would partake in a research study, the first of its kind now called Smart Villages and Sustainable Development: Lessons from a Clean Drinking Water Initiative in Rural India. This was within my ideal area of focus of water and I hastily agreed. In the spring of 2019 at the ripe age of 19 I embarked on a trip to Southern India at a globally ranked university called Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham or Amrita for short.

​

In this study I was working with highly educated and technical professors in addition to the climate and cultural differences I was challenged with once again the very thing I was studying, communications.

Within this study I: conducted my first formal research project and that included: qualitative and quantitative data gathering methods, read and combed through hundreds of research papers (before ChatGPT), interviewed locals near the water filtration units, wrote a paper and developed a model, found research papers to cite my work on, and then worked on it to get published by variety of different journals. Taking in total  2 years, 3 months in India and 1 year and 9 months in the U.S working virtually I was finally able to complete a 50 page report. This report was condensed down to 10 pages and was published in the year 2024 within a book on Smart Cities, IT and other trendy topics of this time within India's prestigious educational sector.

One of the most important things this study taught me was that it doesn't matter if you have the greatest idea in the world, if you don't convey the benefits properly and to the right people/opinion leaders it will fail. Generally people within society are hierarchical and they believe what the highest authority figure says usually without any resistance. These authority figures are referred to as opinion leaders and are skilled orators. if these opinion leaders don't see the benefits of your product they won't tell their subjects to use it and it wont work. There was a story I read while overseas that stuck with me and I still think of its of James Lind, a Scottish Naval Surgeon who conducted medical trials on 12 different sailors to find out what the cure for scurvy is. he had them eat things like cider, sulfuric acid, vinegar, sea water, a mixture of garlic, mustard seed, and horseradish, and oranges and lemons.and within the group that ate the citrus the cure was documented. he published his findings but since his low rank and not being in the right social circles it gathered dust. Several decades later there was a physician named Sir Gilbert Blane who found Linds findings and became convinced of its ability. He used his influence to project the citrus amongst the British naval fleet but it wasn't until Admiral Alan Gardner took a liking to his resolve and implemented citrus in the diet of his sailors and in 1795 it became mandated into the Naval diet. Originally lemon juice soon replaced by lime scurvy cases dropped dramatically and it led to the nickname "limeys" for british sailors. The british navy implemented this 42 years after Linds published findings (1753) and one year after his death (1794). Think of how many lives would have been saved if the Royal navy would have listened to him even though it didn't respect the traditional chain of command. If he knew the right opinion leaders within the British Navy they would have pushed his research right to Buckingham palace. This goes to show it does not matter what type of innovation or service you have created that solves all of the world's issues. If you don't know how to get it to the king then his subjects will never know of it. Along with this lesson I also learnt proper research methodology and journalistic paper writing skills I was absolutely not adept in before.
 

After this project I returned to my undergrad and was able to secure an internship with one of the vice presidents from my university doing communications for the new Race Equity and Inclusion programs being instituted. In this role I found myself with highly influential people in the school gathering notes on the meetings and making write ups. We were trying to understand what would Race Equity and inclusion look like in this environment. We met with many student groups and took down their thoughts and it seemed like we were going to be able to do something with this. But one afternoon on March 12th, 2020 something to the likes we have never seen, the federal government effectively told the country to cease and desist all action until it could figure out more about the new illness going around. As for myself and the rest of the world everything stopped and we went home. From here I did some projects in communications but understanding this potentially new world and trying to get people paid was on the highest list of priorities. A few months later we all saw on our phones the death of George Floyd and many people in my generation took to the streets and went to protest. Attending the protests I saw a need for a voice that was peaceful and trying to bring progression and not destruction. I quickly rose to the task and planned a demonstration on the upcoming juneteenth with a highschool friend. We planned a wonderful demonstration at several key points through the city of black American significance. We had several speakers at all of the locations and we did it with no violence and alerted the police and mayor of our actions to be in compliance with healthy democratic demonstrations. I planned a few more protests this summer one against the harsh treatment of immigrants by ICE and another one called Songs of Freedom Where I individually organized a music festival over the course of one day of several bands and musicians from the denver metro area that all came from a diverse background to show that we are bigger than our visual differences and we can come together over things that matter such as collective freedom. This was my favorite one event I planned - Music is one of my favorite forms of communication. especially to the effect of freedom as it has been used throughout history for the liberation and strength of many different cultures and peoples. In Between protests I worked my way into ranching gigs one in Bedford, Wyoming and one in Canyon City, Southern Colorado. Working in between these vastly different cultures of rural and urban planning protests while simultaneously working in ranching was a very interesting cultural exposure and difference I wish more people had the chance of being a part of. It helps keep one sober minded and realistic and ultimately seeing all parties as humans who you can laugh and eat with. I took agriculture quite seriously and continued to do it as I returned back to school for my Junior and senior year. During these years I was also able to land a job as the student intern for the President of the university. Being a communications point of contact as well as giving my input on how the students would receive different campaigns. I offered a lot of recommendations and asked about starting a few programs. They liked the ideas but did not have the resources to carry this out, they asked if I would be the one to stand up these projects and I hastily agreed. it felt as if I was given the keys of the school with the amount of resources and contacts I was now in touch with. I was able to conduct several projects and my favorites being quickening the funding for Native American students grant money to go back home during breaks, first of its kind clothing drive, and creating a virtual agora of all of the programs for student welfare that we had available. I loved this job because I loved to help my peers. I found my desire to help my peers very prevalent in my soul's desires and I decided to run for class president with the hopes of using my connections and influence to help the benefit of  my student peers now and long after I would graduate. We ran a great campaign focused on communications and talking to as many different people as I could, meeting the world it seemed like but I ultimately came up short and came in second place. From here I delve back into agriculture as I felt abandoned and betrayed by my peers in all honesty. I went to where I found solace in the outdoors doing tasks that I knew were making a difference and helping. Graduating from my junior year distraught and with a newfound interest in agriculture I worked as general labor for the summer and brokered my first business deal with the goat farm in southern colorado and a local muslim population that needed goats for Eid. Being the first gig of its kind to me I felt inspired and refreshed in the possibilities of agriculture. I went into my final year of school practically completely virtual for the 2021-2022 school year. I was on the hunt to find someone who would want to buy a ranch that I could work on. I sought high and low far and wide and ultimately I found him. He was a great man and I instantly clicked with him and his wife. We created a plan on what to do and how to do it to start a bison ranch. keep in mind I was also in school and I was working at a ranch in my spare time in Delta Colorado on a buffalo ranch. I found a great peace whilst out there amongst the buffalo and working outside in accordance to the sun. I was also attending regenerative agriculture conferences to understand the new research coming out regarding agriculture and our failing and soon to be failed agriculture system. I understood it and I loved it. I graduated from my undergrad and I went to work at one more gig at a regenerative ranch in Oklahoma until we found the right ranch to purchase. Oklahaoma was a very unique experience that opened my eyes to different climates and most notably how much it rained and the availability of water in Oklahoma compared to colorado. My boss was also a genius and he came up with some of the greatest innovations I have ever seen there. I ended up hurting myself and with no way to make a means for myself I hastily went back to Colorado and looked for work there. I found two gifts, one being a trashman in the mornings for a waste service and the other being a horse stall cleaner. I ended up choosing the horse job due to the quick availability and the need for cash. In this role I cleaned up horse stalls for race and leisure horses owned by the local community in Fort collins. I remember vividly one of those horses being a descendant of Secretariat. Working on a broken foot I was no longer inspired to stay in Fort Collins and thought of ways to make one of my long standing dreams come true. that would be of course sailing in the caribbean. So I searched high and low for a boat that would take me as a crew member. I found one on facebook and I quickly sold some of my stuff, collected my last paycheck and left for the Bahamas. During this time my friend was able to find a ranch in conjunction with a very nice agricultural educational lady in central texas and ended up working to buy a ranch there. I went to the bahamas and found myself on a 26 foot single hull sailboat in paradise. Not thinking for how much it would cost and hoping to find a paying crew gig I soon lost all of my funds before that desire could become manifest. I also found out while there how afraid of the ocean I was while in the middle of it. only staying ten days I returned back to america stopping at the ranch in texas to see if it was a good gig for me. I ended up not thinking I would be the right fit for it and decided to take another path. When returning to Colorado I reached out to CU Boulder to see if my admissions to the MBA school would still be honored even after my decision to delay my entry. They decided to honor it and I started school the very next day. I was now in a new culture that was completely different than anything I have been around in the recent past. It was an adjustment for me to say the least but I started to learn how money works, I started to see how the world moves with this currency. I started to see money as a form of communication. Finishing my first year of MBA school I searched for an internship and more importantly a mentor who I could learn form. Reaching out to many people and people that the people I was meeting with knew I came into a coffee meeting at a starbucks one morning unsuspecting of what would be. I met an unassuming woman who turned out to be a consulting guru who has made a career and I would say an exciting life from the work she has done with helping companies become something. I asked, that day, if I could help her with her current project which was a prenatal maternal tele healthcare service. She accepted and I started the next week. The only thing was my plan for that summer was to travel a few countries in southern europe then go to north and west africa than the length of east africa all the way down to Johannesburg. She said I could consult virtually and I left one week after my starting date. Now receiving my non official - official training in consultancy overseas I was taught on the methods and guidelines of giving recommendations to companies. Learning the company,  market, competitors, and understanding the people buying the products. I was taught the traditional way of consulting and I loved it. the ability to learn about new subjects all of the time, help people and founders who believe in their dreams and innovations carry out their progress. and meet all sorts of new people. I provided a lot of work for them and gave extra because I believed in what they were doing. Meanwhile I was traveling across Europe and entering africa. Ultimately I gave a final write up along with several recommendations in communications, strategy, positioning, product packaging, and finally putting together different presentations for potential clients. much of it was well received and implemented and that was the extent of my contract as I was entering the next phase of my travels. Ultimately I got stuck in Ethiopia due to a lack of funds but I was fortunate enough to be with an old friend there who I entrusted as a manager when I was helping establish a food programme for street kids and some of their mothers in northern ethiopia. While there I reiterated the concerns and hopes of the parties in America on the food programme and confirming to the parties back home of the legitimacy and efficacy of the food programme. 

Returning from Ethiopia to America I started on my final year of my MBA and restarted my networking machine I crafted in my first year. Meeting with as many professionals I could especially in real estate as I sought that to be my next career move. I met with hundreds of people in my final year of my MBA and ultimately I learned a lot about people. the things they want to talk about, what people hold dear to themselves, and the people I enjoy talking to the most and looking deeper into their paths and foundations. I applied for a few hundred jobs all throughout Africa doing humanitarian work for NGO services as I love to do that kind of work. all of them rejected me and I accepted there must be a reason so I looked locally. I was not keen on what I was seeing and started to think of simple solutions to the world's issues that I find most pressing. Many of the ideas are practical and very easy to experiment and implement. Some of them we are still years away (to my knowledge) from reaching. I thought of ways that I could be the entrepreneur that I want to be while helping others like myself and the human condition. I wrote all of the ideas down and I have them on this site for open source due to my inability to complete them or diffuse them. I hope that my ideas will be implemented to some degree by someone else to help the common human. I still am set on helping the world in any capacity I can. you can see my future projects and the fruits I hope to bear from it on this website.

In my final months of school I applied for a job posting for an all inclusive outdoor luxury resort. I got the job and that is where I am now. I will write on this website until the fall of 2024. As I plan my next big research project and establish myself as a consultant for socially good early stage and stuck stage innovations this is a good spot for me.
