What changes have you witnessed in Costa Rica in recent years? What needs have arisen as a result of those changes?

As Costa Rica has developed, certain needs have arisen, including the need to become part of a globalized world and the need to further develop the country’s commitment to the environment. These needs have established opportunities for further investment in education, infrastructure, communication skills such as English as a second language, and technological growth and attracting knowledge to the country.

How were you first introduced to Costa Rica?

I first went to Costa Rica in 1981 under a project with USAID /Costa Rica. In 1981, Costa Rica was going through an economic crisis that let to large currency devaluations and many problems throughout the economy as a result. After that first trip in 1981 I made several more trips to Costa Rica, that led to my eventually securing a one year contract with USAID / Costa Rica and moving there with my wife in June of 1983. The rest is history!
