So, he packed up his things and moved to Hong Kong to study Chinese Philosophy and it has been quite a journey since then until now. That was in 2010. Over the last 11 years, he has worked in, lived in, and traveled to over forty-five countries learning from different cultural elders as well as working on solutions to some of the world’s largest issues such as food waste, plastic remediation, energy access and the detriments of tourism.  Regeneration is for the visionary leaders and change-makers who are tired of living into a world that they no longer resonate with.
