About Me

Since 1992 I have held the vision of establishing Maui, Hawaii as the environmental sciences center of the world. After His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet came to Maui This vision has expanded to establishing Maui as the environmental & peace center of the world.

In 1995 At Maui High Performance Computing Center The Scientific Analysis & Visualization of the Environment Program was incubated. I was the principal investigator of this independant research project which was a joint development between MHPCC, Silicon Graphics Computers (SGI) & nko.org.

Today with no major funding The Maui S.A.V.E. Program continues and has evolved from Internet based virtual reality modeling to Internet based video distribution highlighting the environment and peace efforts of humans across the globe.

A comment on Conversation: We spend 3 billion hours a week as a planet playing videogames. Is it worth it? How could it be MORE worth it?

Feb 17 2011: What if the future of online video games modeled real world scenarios and provided experience for strategies towards creating a peaceful planet in environmental balance.

I am currently exploring "Fate of the World" in beta currently, although not a networked game I invite all interested to go forth and create
