  • Researcher and Author

    • Jul 2010 - Present

    After gaining the experience of completing the 2008/09 school year teaching economics, entrepreneurship, and general science at Patagonia Union High School in Patagonia, Arizona, I began the research, planning, and written work to create a national deep immersion learning system to supersede and replace the traditional American educational system for the benefit of our beleaguered Next Generation (18-34 year-old range).Accordingly, beginning in mid-2010, I started up this full-time mission in what turned out to be a 13-year effort, to-date, to establish a deep immersion grounding for our beleaguered Next Generation (18-34 age-range) and our Younger Americans (13-17) to successfully enter the global workforce and move forward to pursue their own unique American Dream trajectory with the skills, perspective, and spiritual force to overcome today's mounting social, economic, and psychological obstacles.Currently, I'm at the beginning of the capital raising phase to obtain funding for a trial and error, Nine-Month, Deep Immersion Learning Course for a cohort of 24 of our Next Generation members (18-34 year age group), leading to a seminal 24-month course to achieve the educational goals described above.My Body of Written Work:1. A Grandfather's Encouragement To Our Next Generation (2013);2. Restoring The Peace (2016); 3. The Buffalo Chip Saloon---A Sanctuary of Lasting Friendships (2001); 4. Night Freight: Riding the Rails To Active Labor Markets In the Great Depression (2023) (being updated and expanded) 5.
