Wes Deuel
Autobiographic Digest
His family roots extend to relatives that include such names as Winston Churchel, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, US Presidents, are in the Pacific Northwest. As the son of a timber faller/wood products industry, he moved frequently until he began Junior High School in John Day, Oregon. He graduated from high school there in 1980.
After High School, He married in 1990 but divorced after 10 years. He was married to a German woman who has two grown daughters and they reside in Berlin, Germany but most recently, he returned to the U.S. to look after his ailing mother and currently resides in Medford, Oregon. Wes has a daughter (26 yrs) and a son (23 yrs) who live in the US. From the age of 12, Wes is best described as a “Jack-Of-All-Trades” by working various blue-collar jobs beginning with paper delivery, shoveling snow during cold seasons, mowing lawns in warmer seasons and working as a grounds keeper for a hospital.
Due to an absent father, Mr. Deuel (eldest child of 4) was forced to delay his schooling temporarily and took a job with the US Forest Service to pile brush in the summer and burn brush piles in the winter to make ends meet for their family of 5, To make up for the absence, he worked extra school curriculum and squired his graduation degree from HS in 1980. Following HS, Mr. Deuel worked various blue-collar jobs including the wood products industry (mill work including Pulling Green Chain, Forklift Operator and Hog Feeder), road construction, installing city water systems (including heavy equipment operator (e.g. Front-end Loader, Grader, Dump truck & Flatbed Driver, other, setting and detonating explosive charges, etc.). He is also a musician who led a band as a frontman (guitar, vocals) and later joined a professional band in Portland, OR where they played various venues and a warm-up act for large front liners as a Hard Rock performance.
Aside from the band, he worked as a warehouseman/shipping clerk, painting booth operator, forklift operator and semi-truck loader and eventually a Mechanical Engineer for a Pump Equipment company. He worked as Mechanical Engineer with speed reducers, electrical motors ( to 3000 hp), equipment assembly (pumps, speed reducers, electrical motors) and Electrical Inverters before promotion into an Inside Sales position in 1991. [See Hampton Power Products job references]
As a “late bloomer” he returned to school, first attending Clackamas Community College with the intent of working towards a science or medical degree. He earned an Associate degree from Portland Community College in Mathematics and Business Economics before going on to attended Oregon State University where he completed a BS degree in Horticultural Sciences. During his undergraduate work, he pursued multiple opportunities to develop his analytical and product testing skills for traditional and alternative Agricultural products in multiple commodities and crop types. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1998 and was awarded numerous merits and honors. During his BS work, he approached the Oregon Meadowfoam Growers Association (OMG) with a proposal to develop their waste product (Seed meal) into a biobased pesticide for use in ornamental nursery crops. His idea was accepted by the organization who agreed to help fund some of his graduate work at OSU. His work quickly caught the attention of the nursery and other Ag groups. Field trials (conducted at OSU experiment stations and at “on-site” locations) were soon established in multiple commodities including nursery, small fruit and vegetables. Through various oral and written presentations of his findings, crop producers became increasingly interested in trials in their production systems to address problem beyond the initial theme of Wes’ thesis work. Novel discoveries and new uses for seedmeal products led to filing of two patents with OSU as assignee. For over three years, Wes has acted as Director of R&D for OMG with the additional function of handling all phases of marketing and sales for the farmer cooperative using his own company [Full Circle Ag Inc.]. During this period, he was introduced to the Oregon Sheep Growers cooperative where he was retained as an Agricultural Consultant to find use of their waste wool. Mr Deuel wrote a grant and was awarded funding to invent novel products using the wool to facilitate Pollution Remediation. This involved development of multiple devices designed to capture stormwater pollutants using waste wool fashioned into storm drain inserts. He implemented field studies & trials by enlisting the assistance of multiple organizations, cities and district's Public Works throughout the Pacific Northwest including Port of Portland, Multnomah and Washington County Water Districts; the Cities of Canby, Corvallis and Albany and Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company, Longview, WA. He achieved notoriety and success as the only, truly effective, biodegradable solution to storm water remediation with development of a “full circle,” sustainable solution using a replaceable storm drain insert that captures hydrocarbons (i.e. gasoline derivatives, oil, tire particles, etc.), cigarette butts and other pollutants commonly found within storm water run-off; used inserts are changed out periodically with new inserts while used inserts are subjected to compost techniques involving use of hydrocarbon and other pollutant consuming organisms to break down into basic, inert compounds after which the nutrient rich compost material remains for use to benefit flowering plants, bushes and/or trees typically used for beautification in city parks, along highways, roadways or within traffic zone median projects. Furthermore, the inserts provide an additional farm-gate profit for wool producers while also reducing transfer and landfill costs once associated with waste-wool. This follows true for the meadowfoam seedmeal project.
Another chapter to Wes' experience began upon his move to Sedona, Arizona where he began work as Director of Marketing and worked into the position of Lab & Product Development at Ambaya Gold, a producer and distributor of liquid supplements. At this juncture, Wes' path took a peculiar turn following his introduction to Ambaya's silent partner: a traditional Native American medicine man called Medicine Wolf who took Wes as his apprentice and taught him the arcane methodology of alternative medicines (Medicinals) from naturally occurring compounds and ingredients (e.g. enzymes, minerals, probiotics, vitamins, others) that provide highly effective alternatives to cure most common diseases including Stage IV cancers. Wes was taught many secret “recipes” passed down only by way of a time-honored, oral, shamanic tradition; closely-guarded secrets that also involve subtle energies or “The Force” to obtain a truly effective and highly sought-after means of curing ailments common to the human and animal bodies where conventional methods would not compare. Wes and his wife built [from ground up] a brand new laboratory and office space for Medicine Wolf following a split in partnership relations with Ambaya Gold.
Since then, Wes has gone on to be an Independent Consultant in various fields of industry (Agriculture, Alternative Energy, Green Industries, Pollution and Waste Management, State contracts, and even Global presence including Africa, Europe and New Zealand). Wes' more recent history includes International consulting projects based from Berlin, Germany involving the conceptualization, invention and development of various novel products and technologies include:
Seasteads and Very Large Flotation Structures for aquaculture, solar or wind farms made [in part] from recycled plastic pollution as a (partial) means of reclamation from recycled plastics that include ocean pollution (sourced from the large garbage gyers found in all five major oceans globally) while creating solutions for rising sea levels that are estimated to cause $14+ Trillion [annually] damage, loss of prime ocean real estate, infrastructure and displacing over 600 million people by 2100. This project is “ahead of the curve” and in dire need of development!
Additional products & technologies developed by Mr. Deuel include Functional/Wearable Products, Medicinals and Protective Creams & Balms to counter the high rate of radiation derived from the Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear disasters and the high levels of electronic pollution resulting from 5G microwaves and radiation emitted from cell towers.
His most recent exploits include development of Large Floating Structures (related to above) for the Gas, Oil and Alternative energies Industries (Solar, Wave, Wind and other novel technologies), Water Desalinization Systems in addition to Alternative Living Communities and Military Applications to counter rising sea levels and novel, new health technologies that include Medicinals.
Health Treatments & Technologies like Hydrogenated Water where cutting-edge, breakthrough products are in development with potential to cure over 66 different diseases, ailments and even StageIV cancers.
Desert Greening—Significantly sized project involving many moving pieces to turn desert areas around the countries of Jordon and Saudi Arabia into lush, agricultural rich, productive land that benefit multiple industries, trades and technologies.
All above outlines of novel products or concepts are available by request thru Agreement of Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure.
For pleasure and hobby, Mr. Deuel has spent the past 25 plus years conducting research and pursuit of various sciences, paranormal and super-natural phenomenon. An avid culinary artist, Body Builder (weight lifting), Musician and writer of scripts for movies and series with the majority in the genera of Action, Sci-Fi and/or Thrillers.
