"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot." - Mark Twain

I am a Native American Abenaki Indian from Vermont and a Northeast Kingdom businessman who recently launched the highly successful Internet radio station, Free Vermont Radio. Organized to promote Vermont music and Vermont musicians, Free Vermont Radio now has listeners in over 120 countries worldwide.

In 2003 I started what has become a very popular chess-playing website of which he is sole owner and CEO. Over 200,000 people worldwide regularly play chess on this site.

After spending three years in the U.S. Army and a number of years in Hawaii and California as a sales executive, I moved my family back to my hometown of Kirby, VT in 2006. Since that time I have been an active supporter of the Second Vermont Republic and the entire Vermont independence movement.
