While I have won numerous awards for my work, the projects of which I am most proud are ones targeting at-risk kids and those that have brought my clients success.
Put a Little Science in Your Future, a rap music video for at-risk high school students promoting science careers—for which I wrote original lyrics—raised enrollment in science-intense curriculum at West Mesa High School, was shown to the U.S. Congress, aired extensively on Channel One (the education channel). The Photonics Academy, recruiting for another West Mesa High School science program, portrayed kids looking into the their futures with a 'magic' remote control. All actors in both videos were West Mesa High School drama students and the rap artist was a West Mesa alum.
A business plan and associated white paper describing how the annular core research reactor at Sandia National Laboratories could be used for both weapons research and the manufacture of medical isotopes influenced the Department of Energy to fund the Moly-99 project at Sandia National Laboratories.
A bold and innovative business plan brought $1 million in capital to start-up technology company Energy Related Devices.
