Governance

## Board of Trustees

Trustee & Founder

### Joel — A lifetime of nonstop education across every field Global Genius Trust touches

“Serial entrepreneur” is what describes me best at this point in life. At the Global Genius Trust I am responsible for the idea and the creation of projects across agriculture, forest preservation, food production, aviation, banking, currency, biomedicine, community creation, ecology and sustainable energy, media, mining, software and transportation. None of that comes from a degree in any one of them; it comes from never having stopped studying all of them.

- 24 years as a hardware and software engineer for TMI, NCCI, Cyberguard, Encore Systems, Sun Microsystems, Federal Express, Conner Drives, GTE Government Information Systems, Digital Equipment Corporation, Sears Catalog Division, NCR, Kodak, IBM, Motorola, Logical Devices, Citicorp, Ungermann-Bass and others

- Experience in the design of complex mechanical automation equipment, radio communication equipment, medical equipment, and computer operating systems; large-scale technical project management and corporate management consulting

- 12,000+ hours of law education, specialising in international asset protection and Common Law

- 6 years of nonstop study and practice across a wide variety of spiritual and occult subjects

- Founder, Fundación Ecológica Condorhuana & the Utopian EcoVillage Network Federation for Latin America

- Author of two books, both given away rather than sold: [El arte de vivir en equilibrio](https://grupogenio.com/elarte) — on health, the terrain of the organism, and deciding for yourself (Spanish and English) — and [21st Century Practical Spiritual Metaphysics Guidebook for Atheists and Agnostics](https://grupogenio.com/21st), a working draft that walks the road most people walk in reverse: from atheism to agnosticism, asking no one to believe anything (English)
