Quantum Gravity Research
Founder and Director
Founded in 2009, Quantum Gravity Research (QGR) consists of a team of dedicated physicists, engineers, and mathematicians working on developing a first-principles quantum gravity theory (Emergence Theory) using E8-derived quasicrystal mathematics. Emergence theory intricately — yet simply — weaves together quantum mechanics, general and special relativity, the standard model and other mainstream physics theories into a complete, fundamental picture of a discretized, self-actualizing universe. QGR is not “just” seeking a theory of everything, but rather QGR is seeking a first-principles theory of everything that aims to provide answers for foundational physics from the ground up.

Mayasil
Investor
Mayasil is a start-up company with the new technique believed to be the first simple, inexpensive chemical method for producing high-purity silica compounds from agricultural waste. The high-purity silica compounds are derived from biomass waste processing and can be used in everything from toothpaste to tires. The new method is estimated to cost 90 percent less than the current process with virtually no carbon footprint. The Mayasil Process saves six tons of CO2 for each ton of material produced, while reducing heavy metals, solvents, and other toxic waste streams.

Upworthy
Investor via outside mission driven investment firm
Lots of media companies have a mission. But Upworthy is on a mission to change what the world pays attention to. Upworthy believes that stories about important issues can and should be great stories — stories for everyone, stories that connect us and sometimes even change the world. Because we’re all part of the same story.
Upworthy helps people find important, positive content that is as fun. The Internet’s been overrun with insanity and all of us are eating it up. But the things that really matter in the world don’t have to be boring and guilt-inducing. The addictive stuff we love doesn’t have to be completely substanceless. Just as a random act of kindness to a stranger creates a chain reaction of goodness in the world, sharing entertaining but positive and uplifting or educational content sets in motion a ripple of goodness in society.
