October 29, 2007: POWERleap and I were featured on a segment shoot for Sundance Channel's Big Ideas for a Small Planet Television series. The segment will permier in the "gadgets" episode on June 17th.

September-October 2007: With a generous $10,000 grant from The Mohawk Group, a donation from Detroit based SensiTile, the collaboration of Mike Hollibaugh of HolliSolar, I designed and constructed the Third Generation Design of POWERleap.

June 17, 2007: I met with Mohawk Group president and Product development leader to discuss potential partnership on product development.

May 21, 2007: I gave a presentation and exhibited a modified installation of POWERleap at the Metropolis Magazine Design Entrepreneurs: Rethinking Energy Conference during the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York City.

How do you fit in:

I am seeking to collaborate with a company or research institute/laboratory to progress this concept into a commercial product.

Additionally, I am looking for inspired, creative, and forward-thinking people to form a think tank based on human powered electric grids where we will design solutions that connect social networks with electrical energy generation.

If you would like to share some ideas or would like to be involved in changing the way humans interact with eachother and the electricity we need/consume, please email me
