Author Biography

Edward C. Nixon has spent the last five decades pursuing the responsible use of natural resources around the globe. After receiving his bachelor's and master's degrees from Duke and NC State, he embarked on a successful career working for and serving as an advisor to several cutting edge companies in the field of earth science. He is president of Nixon World Enterprises, Inc., and current chairman of the Pyron Solar Advisory Board in San Diego, California. By reflecting on heritage, education, extensive world travel, plus the encouragement of his older brother, President Richard Nixon, the author tells the story of an ordinary family striving to make a positive difference in the world. Their global mission aims to inspire more young Americans to reach for a new threshold of greatness for the country.
