My Role as Treasurer at the Global Embassy of Culture: As Treasurer of the Global Embassy of Culture, I see myself as the guardian of our financial integrity. I make sure every dollar is tracked, recorded, and spent in alignment with our mission. I don’t just “keep the books”—I protect trust. I’m responsible for compliance too. That means I stay on top of IRS filings, 1099 forms, and state requirements so we never miss a deadline or jeopardize our credibility. I’ve built internal controls that keep us accountable—clear procedures for deposits, reimbursements, and approvals—because I know that strong financial systems give our donors and partners confidence. I also lead in creating and monitoring our budgets. I watch for risks and help the board see where we stand, where we’re headed, and how our money tells the story of our strategy. Part of my role is communication. I provide timely, clear reports so everyone on our team understands our financial picture. Numbers don’t lie, but they need to be translated into meaning—and that’s on me. I also make sure our donors feel appreciated and recognized. Whether contributions are tax-deductible or not, I ensure acknowledgments are thoughtful, accurate, and heartfelt. And finally, I know I won’t be Treasurer forever. I’m already documenting processes and mentoring so when the time comes, my successor can step in smoothly. In short: I’m not just counting beans. I’m aligning our resources with our cultural vision. One eye on the ledger, the other on the horizon—that’s how I serve the Global Embassy of Culture.

The games industry is expected to grow by 3-5 percent during the coming years. Almost 3.4 billion people play digital games globally, with almost 2.9 billion playing on mobile.

As an investor, I am happy to work with Stillfront-owned Game Labs of Kyiv, Ukraine, on Ultimate General: American Revolution. I am listed in the credits as a General and am heavily promoting the adoption of this game.

The Hail to the Chef Restaurant Museum features All the Presidents' Menu's. We focus on the simple fare the First Families loved, family faves, and the specialty dishes and recipes they adored.

We are considering a multiuser kitchen that facilitates service to all three as well as ghost kitchen services providing a private pickup area for DoorDash and GrubHub. Most Presidents were born and raised in simple family homes, and few can claim aristocracy or castle childhoods. As this attraction location is the upstate South Carolina region, we have selected America's Roaring Twenties President of Calvin Coolidge and his wife, loving Grace, who enjoyed traveling so very much on vacation. Certainly, guests will want to also be informed of Coolidge House in Washington, DC, and be encouraged to travel to the President’s hometown of Plymouth Notch, VT. There, the Coolidge Foundation works daily on the scholarship program and more in partnership with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation at the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site. A visit to the “Notch” will always be remembered as much as the President's large flapjacks and Vermont Syrup.
