About
Adventurer ☛ idea generator ☛ sustainability advocate ☛ entrepreneur of change, I’ve forged my own path as a start-up founder with a passion for renewable resources and social responsibility. I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of an on-farm, containerized Green Ammonia production company based in Canada with a focus on farmers in Manitoba, with expanding operations globally.
My efforts to bring about environmental change started in 2000. I co-founded a company with a vision of turning 40-year-old retro ICE vehicles into state-of-the-art electric vehicles. Our booth sat next to Ford Motor Company at the Canadian Auto Show. 50 test drives: 50 orders! This effort became ZENN Motor Company.
Next goal – I now co-lead FuelPositive Corporation. We have a great, committed and growing team and firmly believe innovations in empowering farmers and enabling global food security and fertilizer and energy independence will have a tremendous impact on our global environment.
