Jenevieve Fisher. Ms. Fisher has been devoted, since the age of twenty-two, to helping others negotiate the challenges of dealing with a diagnosis of cancer.

For the past eleven years, he has managed his own engineering firm, Hess & Associates, which specializes in industrial water reclamation with a focus on removing heavy metals and environmental toxins from process water.

In 2001, Mr. Hess invented and patented one of the first consumer water filtration products of its kind to clean polluted water. This U.S. patented product was licensed in 2002 to Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc. Mr. Hess has been in the Aerospace and Military electronics field for over thirty-seven years, spending approximately nineteen of those years at TRW Space and Defense. During this time he was an engineer and government-certified final inspector on the US Space Station and Space Shuttle programs. He worked as a program manager for two international satellite programs. His responsibilities included supervising the in-house procurement team while interfacing with the European Space Agency (ESA). This position required extensive international travel, attending senior management meetings twice a year at five European Government Space Agencies. Upon completion of those satellite programs, Mr. Hess was assigned to and worked with the team responsible for procuring the water filtration systems for the US Space Station and Space Shuttle programs.
Mr. Hess received a Bachelors of Science Degree in Business from the University of Phoenix and later a Bachelors of Science Degree in Kinesiology (Bio-Mechanics), along with a California teaching credential for K-12 grade from Cal Poly Pomona.
