Media Coordinator - Nick Aster

Nick has been a professional online media specialist for the last 6 years and is now pursuing his MBA at Presidio World College in San Francisco. He is an entrepreneur and has a thriving consulting business for web-based media. Current and past clients include Silicon Valley Watcher & Moreover Technologies. As a media specialist, he has come to appreciate the many sides of communication and enjoys exploring as many sides of an issue as there are people involved.

Nick’s interest in media led him to the Treasure America Project. He was fascinated that the few beneficiaries of oil drilling in Alaska (those receiving direct short term financial benefits) had convinced so many Americans that increased oil drilling was a good way to address America’s overdependence on oil. He is dedicated to ensuring that Alaskan Citizens and Americans understand the true economics of ongoing oil dependence. He looks forward to building bi-partisan consensus around ways to transition oil industry proponents into more sustainable economic activities.
