Andrew’s social entrepreneurship efforts have been recognized by Dr. Muhammad Yunus (Nobel Laureate) at the 2013 Oregon Social Business Challenge.  Andrew served as a key organizer in the successful campaign to ban GMOs in Jackson County, OR.

After his 9-year tenure as Secretary to Bruce DePalma and as Trustee of DePalma Institute. Andrew co-founded NewEnergyMovement.org (NEM) with Dr. Brian O’Leary and others, serving as an Associate Director and Adviser to NEM’s Board.  He is co-founder of Southern Oregon Slow Money and an organic farmer.  The development of advanced energy and propulsion systems remains an enduring passion, yet Andrew believes a biomass revolution to reforest and re-green the Earth is needed even more urgently than a second industrial revolution. The true Space Age does await the bold developers of new energy and the virtually untapped Forces behind their unconventional behavior.
