Thanks to that, he started his new job Sustainable Heritage in Missaukee. This gigantic task presently is to build 60 wind turbines.

However, as an engineer who owns his own energy business, and also being a man of hard science, he is actually somewhat skeptical that anything was ever really buried on the island. Even though he is intrigued by the compelling clues that he, Rick and their partners have found since they first began “The Fellowship of the Dig” over a decade ago, he still remains on the hunt for irrefutable proof that major works were done on the island prior to the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795.
