Notice Anything Special About These Nice Folks On The List Above?
Anything At All? Well ... They're All 'A Listers'.

Most Are Millionaires, Some Are Even Multi Billionaires ... And Some Gazillionaires.
More Importantly, They Are All ... For The Most Part ... Loving Humanitarian's.

Our Goal ... Is A Rather Hefty Ten Million Dollars, But ... One I Truly Believe To Be Very Achievable ... With The Right Partners And The Right Project.

How Do I Know That? What A Great Question!

"The World Is But A Canvas To Our Imagination” Henry David Thoreau

Well ... Fact Is ... Any Single Person On This 'A List' Has The Ability To Make Our Goal A Reality ... All By Themselves.

Some Because They Have Millions And Billions Of Dollars ... Others For The Political Clout They Carry, Others For The Social Media Clout ... And Still Others ... For Their News And Social Prowess.

Almost Instantly ... Like Magic ... With Just The Flick Of The Wrist ... They All Have Life Changing Power.

Not Only That, But Collectively, They Could Probably Fund Our $10 Million Dollar Project ... With Just Pocket Change Alone : - )

I Would Imagine ... That Kind Of Power Feels Pretty Good ... Wouldn't You Agree?

Just Imagine How Much Power They Share Collectively.

It's Almost Unimaginable What We Could Do Collectively With That Kind of Power.

However ... With That Kind Of Power ... Comes The Awesome Responsibility Of Managing Or Leveraging That Power ... So That Each Dollar Does The Most Good Or Generates The Highest ROI ... Or Both.

Buckle Your Seat Belt Folks ... 

Because Here's Where Things Can Get A Bit Uncomforatable For Some Folks. 

Here's The Problem ... At least ... As I See It Anyway.

Unless Things Change Quickly In The African American Community ... As Far As Job Opportunities Are Concerned ... Extinction Within The Next 100 Years ... Is Eminent.

Just Like With The Native American Indians ... If You Have No Ownership Rights In A Country, Your Fate Could Be Similar.

Gradually And Methodicly Replaced By Other Immigrants Who Will Work Cheaper ... And Other Jobs Outsourced Abroad.

Tensions Are Rising In The Inner City Communities And Things Have Become Increasingly More Volatile In Those Communities.

Instead Of Young Men And Women In The Community, Feeling Hopeful, They Are Feeling Helpless, Angry And Disenfranchise. 

And Like A Pressure Cooker ... Steam Is Building. Resulting In Violent Games Like 'The Knock Out Game', Angry And Often Times Violent Protesting And Other Random Acts Of Violence ... We All Witness Daily On The 6 O'clock News, Like Gang Attacks At Shopping Malls, By Gangs Of Primarily young Teen Aged Girls ...  And Boys. Not To Mention All The Shootings.

And Most Recently ... Two NYPD Police Officers Savagely Gunned Down In Broad Daylight And Killed While Sitting In Their Squad Car In Brooklyn, New York ... And Hundreds Of Similar  'CopyCat' Treats of violence To Other Police Officers.

Many Are Feeling Hopelessly Disenfranchise. Not A Good Recipe For Peace And Trust, Let Alone Harmony In The Community.

I Don't Think It's Any Big Secret And I Believe Most Would Probably Agree ... That More Good Paying Jobs ... Is The Answer.

Starting With America's Veterans. They Will Help Build The Community, From The Inside Out ... Not The Other Way Around.

There Is Hope ... But We Must Act Quickly ... Here's Why!

On America’s Path Toward A Clean Energy Future ... Solar Energy Is An Increasingly Important Building Block. [Stay With Me]

And, We Are At The Forefront Of A New Burgeoning Industry, Blossoming With Unlimited Potential For Good Paying Careers.

An Opportunity Poised And Ready To Explode With Clean Technology, Waiting To Be Taken And Enjoyed.

This May Very Well Turn Out To Be ... The Best Opportunity ... For Real Change In America ... For All Americans.

At Least ... That's Our Hope ... Dream ... And Prayer.


What We Need & What You Get

I Currently Work 12 to 15 hours a Day On the project ... But I Still Can't Do It All By Myself ... I desperately Need Your Help:

  • Our Goal Is To Make Contact with ALL 100 Prospects On our 'A' List, To Explain what we do ... why we do it ... how much funding we need to do it ... and Exactly where the money is going to be spent.

  • Our commission based ... crowdsourcing campaign ... will also allow those that are interested in doing so ... To Earn A 10% Commission ...  for All Donations they Generate For Solar Energy Bootcamp!

  • The $60k raised during the crowdfunding campaign, will be used to provide bridge funding and to continue to move forward, until long term funding arrives from either the Dept of V. A., Dept of Labor and/or the Dept of Energy ... ETC.

  • Organizing Equipment Needed, Building search and selection, Cubicle Layout, Organizing Training Programs, preparing city & county Licence & permits, ETC.

The Impact

Once we are in full motion, we'll train approximately 1000 to 1200 veterans a year:

  • Our goal is to have 5 Bootcamps up and running in less than 4 years.
  • Original 5 Coaches will be promoted to run 5 new Bay Area Bootcamps.
  • We'll also hire graduating bootcamp students to fill Coaching Positions.

Risks & Challenges

All my life I've been training for this final mission.

From my days in Viet Nam where I helped coordinate the evacuation of the Embassy in Siagon ... to coordinating one of the largest Haz Mat Spills and clean-up's in California.

My extensive fire fighting experience combined with my training as a special deputy sheriff, 15 years federal government experience as a program manager, fire and safety training, earthquake disaster, Nucular, Biological and Chemical warfare, Diversity Trainer, PAC Lobbist, Union Boss, Founding Chapter President,  make me particularly suitable for this mission. 

We value transparency and Diversity in the workplace.

We also have a domestic abuse policy in place. 

The Biggest Risk to our success is my health.

The only way we don't succeed ... is if I die first. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!

But, I want you to know ... I will do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen in the next 3 years. However, truth be told ... NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE!

Having said all that ... we will always be grooming my successor and preparing others within our small organization for leadership positions.

I believe ... Promoting from within is VERY IMPORTANT!


Can't Contribute Financially ...

Here Are A Couple Other Ways You Can Help:

I realize some folks aren't able to contribute financially ...  but that doesn't mean you can't help:

  • Ask your family and friends to help you get the word out ...  and to make some real noise about our campaign on their social media sites by posting our content and banners on their social media sites ...  and telling folks why serving veterans is so important.

  • Remind them to use the Indiegogo share tools and to contribute even small amounts if they are able to.  And that's all there is to it.

  • And Remember Folks ... This is not about me or you ... or any other one person.

  • However ... This is about legacy ... and making sure the footprint we leave behind, are one's that serve America's Veterans for decades after we're gone.
