the First "next" step

Howzit gang - if you're reading this post, then you will be following a journey into the vast, vast unknown.  The future.  Here I'll try to coalesce all ideas and future actions as well as record my daily development toward a meandering path to build our futures and attempt to save the planet at the same time.  I guess we all do that in our own small way... so this one will just be another journey.  

To where you may ask?  To the moon and Mars... literally.  What? yes it does sound a bit weird - but in the spirit of adventure and exploration... pls indulge me as I connect a number of dots over future blog entries.  Feel free to comment along the way.

Yes, I am a fan of Elon Musk's vision for SpaceX.  To get to the moon and Mars there is so much we need to build.  And of course my focus is on extreme environments...  Not just stormy, sea level rising coastlines, or icey plateaus on the South Pole, but true space travel and living in space.  I can see the technology needed, but no team or talented people to build it yet.  And since I can't do it alone, I'm about to set on an adventure to build a team that can do this.  

Yup - it's incredibly crazy - but I really believe that if we don't aim this high, we'll never solve our planetary existential problems that I'll also be blogging about.   

So the reason why I've changed my "label" from architect to investor/architect  is that I'm on the hunt to invest in existing firms willing to also design for this level.  Those firms currently consist of businesses that need a succession plan that have roughly 10 people and are in different consulting industries including, but certainly not limited to:  design firms focusing any of:

architecture, interiors, landscape, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, coastal 

and also verticals in: PR, grant writing, and finance

what do I offer?  a new vision of where civil design really needs to go.  I'll explain more in future posts...  Just imagine off-grid but on steroids.
