The Focus Project is primarily responsible raising Venture Capital for Patent Development in alternate energy and emerging technologies although branching into new areas all the time.

Three simple letters “YBU” or in words…Why Be You? There it is. Maybe it’s an eternal question or it may be an internal question. It invokes thought and hopefully a thought process to those of you who will join this group. This is the very reason for this group. I read an article recently titled “Start with Why”. “Why” can be very introspective. Why invokes a trend of thoughts and thinking it through starts you on a path. Why am I here? Why has this happened to me? Why am I in my present situation? Why did I make that choice? The list goes on and you certainly can start one yourself to look into your own situation and life. Write it down, tell a friend, let others know.“B”…or “Be”…think about who you are. If you know who you are, then it becomes easy for others to see. Identify your reason for being. Is it to help others? Is it to solve a problem? Is it to be a companion to someone? After taking those first two steps you will start to see the “U”…or “You”. Who are you? Do a reality check. What you find may surprise and amaze you. With that in hand you can put it all together.Why be you? It is poignant, telling, strengthening, powerful and an education all in one. Now, you can tell us your story!Soon to be published YBU asks for true stories from your life that speak from your heart. Stories where you had a decision point, were at a crossroads, where you did something bravely or backed away because it was the right thing to do. Tell us about your inspirations, desperations, a mentor, a parent or colleague. We are looking for that one uplifting moment. We want that thought process that changed your life for the better or what you did to change someone else’s. Show less

Mission Ready K9 - MRK9 is a new project to instruct and train K9 Handlers. Along with the formation of American K9 Search and Recovery and Back from Beyond NPO I will be writing a new book on all the aspects of becoming a qualified K9 Handler. I have tons of information to share as I move forward with this project. I have been a volunteer K9 Handler and Master Trainer for over 3 decades and look forward to bringing my experiences to those who wish to improve their skills and performance.
