Summary: Author of The Earth Citizens Guide and UEE founder, Duane Stjernholm (pen name Dane Starland) was born in La Junta, Colorado, a small town in the southeastern corner of the state. Seeking to explore the world in search of adventure, he joined the Peace Corps and spent two years in the Philippines. Recovering from "Reverse Culture Shock" upon his return to Colorado, he attended the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, earning a Master of Arts in Religion degree, specializing in religious philosophy and metaphysics. Soon after graduation from Iliff, he was fortunate to attend a live speech by the renowned world citizen and inventor R. Buckmaster Fuller, who inspired him on his current 35-year mission of changing the prevalent mindset of humanity from competition to cooperation and collaboration in order to cocreate the greatest and highest good.
