Teacher expertise and credentials
With 20 years experience as an officer of a major international manufacturing organization, I've traveled the globe working with a variety of business leaders from different regions and cultures around the world. I've worked in politics as a lead member of one of the largest political activist committees and I've had the opportunity to work with governments and utilities in various countries on multiple continents. My experience has given me a global perspective and the ability to not only understand and interpret the events happening around, But also how to convey that information in a simple, practical and safe manner.
