The place for which William B. (Nick) feels a fondness or connection:
Ross, Marin County, CA., is my home-town. Marin has succeeded in preserving small towns, rural land use, and open-space adjacent to the world-class city of San Francisco. <> Seattle, an attractive, cosmopolitan, small city and my home of 30 years, is also on the edge of both viable agricultural land uses and true wilderness -- the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Mountains.

The change William B. (Nick) passionately wants to happen:
I enjoy examining the overlap of Economics, Environment, Health, Human Rights, and Cultural Relations through involvement in multi-disciplinary partnerships in Business, Academia, Government, Science, and NGO's.
