Ekco Housewares International - Chicago, Ill., 1981-1984

Independent business broker and mergers and acquisitions specialist 1984-1987

Licensed Series 7 Independent agent with A.L. Williams and other brokers of financial services products covering all of the state of Colorado.  1987-1992 

As a legal researcher and teacher this is where my human rights activism took root and I began teaching people how to use the law to defend their rights from abuse and tyranny.   This led me into the crosshairs of the authorities and I was then designated as a political target.  1992-1994

The notoriety gained from the Law Club led me to be invited to host a radio show on KHNC Radio AM 1360 in Johnstown Colorado known then as THE PATRIOT NEWS NETWORK.  The show was called 'The Citizens Rights Forum' and was actively teaching law in a practical way and exposing corruption in local government business and showing listeners what to do about it which made me a marked man.  I was arrested on bogus charges of 'criminal impersonation' for using my own given name.  I beat the charges in the first trial, representing myself.  They tried me again (double jeopardy) and denied me any chance of defending myself and, long story short, I ended up spending a year in jail.  For the full story read my first book.  "One Freemans Was in the Second American Revolution."  This was around 1994-1995

The experience in learning the law and the notoriety of the radio show created the opportunity to be invited to be a consultant with a group in Oklahoma which was dealing with many clients on investment deals and I was brought in as a trust consultant where I sharpened my teeth on trust law and practical application of its uses.  1996-1999

In 1998 I fell in love with Costa Rica when I went for a business trip and I ended up moving there where I began my life as an international entrepreneur.  I created, built and managed a number of business enterprises most of which are still active today.   See more at mmg.world and mmgcapital.biz for a sample.

I gave 'The American Law Club new life in the digital world by creating The Lighthouse Law Club as an online educational format to share knowledge of human rights and the law to help people protect themselves and their assets.  For more see https://lighthouseliberty.club

I set up PCF to deal with humanitarian needs in the poor communities of Panama and Central America.  See 'The Founders Message' video in the upper right of the homepage at https://pcfpanama.org  One of my idiot detractors calls this a 'whacky' organization in an attempt to smear me.  Have a look and judge for yourself.  See our playlist of videos on Youtube   Then see the original YouTube Channel.  

I started WMC as an online community to help people make the differentiation between a true disciple of Jesus and what is known today as a 'Christian' which is a term that is used quite loosely.  We promote the idea of living according to God's principles as opposed to man's.  See https://worldmissions.world

Founded in 2019 and active today NATF is all about creating Citizen activists to stand up for truth, law and justice in the protection of individual God given rights for the purpose of achieving peace and prosperity. See the website.
