PLEASE, read a little bit of this below... because I was forever changed when I filmed my video: "Colfax County Flood of 2019" - it is horrific, but it taught me a lot.
We all experience tragedies in Life, but that Flood put me in a depressive state I cannot really explain.
Just like my Father created his first Dinosaur Museum (because he saw me playing with toys setting up dioramas), to fund his military monuments with his own personal dividend income, my plan is similar because it works, but I am seeking donations to make this happen on time.
Just watching my video, investing your time helps me. And I will be honest I am so close to my new Company opening in March or April, but I am struggling, and I apologize for asking for help. I almost spiraled into depression, but... what I did to get out of that depression.
Call me crazy, but...
I spent my last bit of money: Rented a 60,000 lb excavator and bought some massive pond linres, made two trips (23,600 lbs total of free scrap "bentinite" - a natural powder that you sandwhich between pond liners. TURNS TO GOO & SEALS any leak. Why did I do this?
Because it was a dream of mine since I was a little kid. To do three things:
1. Build a Natural History Museum - Sculpting Large Monuments & Painting Murals.
2. Marry a woman beautiful in looks and in Spirit, have a family
3. Building Ponds & Reservoirs, planting artificial Forests, and Wildlife Preserves.
So I bought all the equipment, materials, put in the time... my dreams are coming true.
Problem is all THREE of those are at risk because I did not receive half my salary.
And this is not about ego or flaunting wealth.
Please think about the future of our planet & what we learned from Art History: Good time & bad, and if you want to help, I started a goFund ME. This is really serious.
No matter what I am not stopping, but if I can make it to next March or April
I will be blessed enough to never half to borrow money again, and I'm giving back.
Consider Support for Future Conservation & Solutions to Drought, I have an experimental Tree Research Facility (lots of unexpected success), My Art including Bronze Sculptures / Paintings, sold a lot of... all starting capital will be personally funded by myself, mostly from the pay I earn at My New Company: Alpine Dinosaurs & Wild West History Museum of Rapid City South Dakota in the Black Hills. I just need to pay off a few remaining credit cards, and buy a few more items and material to open in the Spring, and if you send me a letter to the address below with a pic/screenshot that you donated (no email because of phishing)...I will be sure your name is forever engraved or written somewhere in the 26,000 sq ft museum.

Really quick Update: My dreams are coming true after almost two decades, but I am in a difficult situation, even a few bucks helps me out tremendously. And if you do not donate, sharing this explanation of what is going on, or just watching my videos.. has a big impact.
My art skills, that I have been practicing since I was 3 years old
(Yes I could draw some-what decent illustrations [of Dinosaurs] at age 3~4)
Well I am in the process of replacing the current family operated Museum...
With some of the World's most detailed & Largest Replica Models
(World's Largest T-Rex, feathered, in a snow scene)
Putting my decades of Art skills to the test.
40% complete woolly rhino, taxidermy shoulder mount hanging with Taxidermy mounts. So you exit my new museum (double the size of the current one), high ceilings and lots of artifacts & Taxidermy: Cape Buffalo, Massive Lion Rug, EXCTINCT sub-species of giant Indonesian Leopard, a real sawfish bill (one of the Largest in the World)...bought it in 2012, two years before the laws changed in 2014. I cannot never sell or trade or even gift this item but I am molding it, selling exclusive high end replicas. Essentially rare or unheard Natural History items no one will see anywhere else.
My main Mission is using my personal income from the museum to start mtt Real Estate Company where I build:
1. Affordable small acreage housing
2. No covenants/HOAS...except...HABITAT & wetland covenants.
3. Every dollar counts so I can replace the current company with:
A. Bigger Dinosaur Modeks, More up-to-date, More creative Art Inspired
B. Real Fossils, Interactive exhibits...Real Legally Obtained Taxidermy & fossils
