As a career Army Officer and Information Technology executive, I spent much of my life living and working around the world.  In the 1990’s, I worked in Germany with Axel Baudach, my EcoEternity partner, in an American IT Services company.  Axel eventually left the firm to found his own business bringing the EcoEternity Concept from Switzerland to Germany.  For five years, I closely followed the growing acceptance of the EcoEternity Forest Concept as Axel’s company expanded.

In 2005, I began to wonder whether the EcoEternity Forest Concept would be as well received in the U.S. as it was in Switzerland, Germany, and Korea.  My wife, Annette, strongly believed Americans would embrace the concept and encouraged me to bring EcoEternity Forest to the U.S. from Europe.  So in 2006, Axel and I founded EcoEternity, LLC and in 2008 Pet EcoForests.com.

My wife was right, the EcoEternity Forest Concept has been well received in the U.S.  There is a substantial body of  ecologically sensitive people  who want their cremated ashes buried at a designated location in a mature forest such that their interment helps to preserve the environment. There also exists a group of forest owners who want to preserve their forests in a natural state and yet need to raise funds to do so without clear cutting or developing parts of their land. Bringing the two groups together is what EcoEternity Forest is all about.
