With the support of Prof. Dr. Deric Bircham, his step father, and Prof. William Martin, a European partner, he contributed and made possible the foundation of Bircham International University.
While managing several companies, he realized that hiring people with the adequate attitude was not easy.

Bircham International University pedagogy was conceived to address those parameters.
What is important is what you know, and not how much you should study, or how you have acquired that knowledge. A distance learning university should make things easy and not create obstacles.

A good education should teach HOW to think, rather than WHAT to think.
