“Dancing with the Dragon” documents the improbable journey of an American entrepreneur from the office parks of north Texas to the oilfields of northwest China in a remarkable quest to bring cleaner energy to the China’s new territories, pioneer profitable US-China business partnerships, and eventually right the wrongs he suffered at the hands of the government of the People’s Republic (PRC) — and the Communist Party (CPC) — of China.

Based on true events and firsthand accounts, he is a speaker worth hearing. It is a topic that is timely and relevant to what is happening right now between US-China relations. As CEO of Pointe Bello, he works with the highest levels of government and commercial bodies on the People’s Republic of China economic statecraft activity worldwide.
