Executive DirectorStem Works! Cdfi Jul 2024 - PresentDenver, Colorado, United StatesSTEM Works! Is Knowledge Rivers planned Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), which will be the first of its kind in Indian Country as well in the Nation. The mission of STEM Works!, is to work with and partner with rural and urban native communities where not only is investment capital scarce, in most of these places, investment capital is non-existent. We will not only provide support and technical assistance to existing STEM entrepreneurs, but we will also work hard to develop “in community” talent and entrepreneurs from the ground up. The capital invested, once realized, will be further invested in new STEM businesses and entrepreneurs, keeping the capital within communities to help not only develop wealth for new business owners, jobs and careers for their neighbors, and will result in the development of more native community based micro-economies.

Enviropreneur Institute FellowPerc Jul 2014 - PresentBozeman, MtPERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s first and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets. Founded more than 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC began as a think tank where scholars documented how government regulation and bureaucracy often led to environmental degradation. PERC sought to explore how property rights and markets could play a more direct role in improving environmental quality. From this work originated the idea of free market environmentalism (FME).PERC researchers began to find real world examples of how FME works on the ground. To encourage the transition of FME from theory to action, PERC established a program to empower individuals—environmental entrepreneurs—by showing them how property rights, contracts, and the market process can be used to improve environmental quality. PERC's Enviropreneur Institute now attracts people from around the globe who are enhancing environmental assets by putting PERC's ideas into practice.PERC continues to evolve, the newest development being PERC University. The PERC campus is a place where scholars, journalists, policy makers, and environmental practitioners can come together to share knowledge, refine their work, and engage in robust discussion. "PERC U" is flourishing as representatives of many disciplines inspire and push each other to further explore the possibilities and applications of free market environmentalism. -
