And he has served on the Monterey College of Law faculty, teaching Constitutional Law and Business Organizations.

Since its formation and founding, he has represented the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation, hailed in Ted Talks and other forms of global thought leadership as a hallmark of success in this important space.
