I e-mailed him a couple days ago asking what his personal qualifications
were to undertake such a project.  Here's an excerpt from his
response....

"I have never made a film, I have never promoted a race.  I have zero
background in this field.  I also had zero knowledge about building
boats and houses when I first started out.  I built my first 40 foot
commercial fishing vessel at the age of 26 and my first house when I was
29.  I was also very actively involved in putting a group of fishermen
together to buy a processing plant.  I can't do this on my own and I
don't expect to.  What I do have a lot of experience in, is hiring the
right people to get a job done.  I also have a ton of experience with
the ocean. 
I have a very strong record as a successful commercial salmon
fisherman."
