I launched the EcoTru product line, an EPA registered cleaner disinfectant with the lowest toxicity rating at the time.
I was actively involved in the creation of the CleanWell Company and the launch of its first line of products: hand sanitizers and antimicrobial hand soaps using Ingenium, the first botanical based antimicrobial technology.

Other things I enjoy very much:
- Exploring new countries, not a CO2 contribution I’m very proud of, but once there I’m pretty much CO2 free.
- Playing and coaching soccer, sailing, free and scuba diving, board games and gardening.
- Reading Albert Camus, Mahatma Gandhi, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, Edgar Alan Poe. Listening to Keith Jarrett, Eric Satie, Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal, Astor Piazzola, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Nina Simone, Ornette Coleman, Pat Metheny …

Thank you for reading and making this world safer.
