Here are some of his clients he has worked with over four decades as a PR consultant:
The late William Thourlby, who was the Original Marlboro Man. He prepared a plan for the marketing of his first book You Are What You Wear and turned it into a bestselling classic. (This was also pre-Internet days when you had to use the Yellow Pages and send out physical press packages with snail mail!). He arranged 99 interviews with top media including the top rated David Suskind Show and Saturday Evening Post.
He was brought in to build DragonCon, now North America’s largest sci-fi/pop culture fan convention, from a 14,000 4 day attendance to its current 65,000 plus attendance. Hecalso arranged for Coke and Subway to become involved with Corporate Sponsorship of DragonCon. For three years he handled all Media Relations for the event.
Nobel Prize nominated author the late Robert Taylor, who wrote Paradigm, a novel that Business Week called “the DaVinci Code for the Wall Street set”. He also was on the highly rated Coast to Coast AM radio show.
He has even co-produced events like TheGreat American Footrace and The Atlanta English Leather Calendar Challenge.
His biggest event he co-created and produced in 2003 on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA was SpyFest where there were 65 stars from TV and film who appeared in James Bond movies, other spy thrillers and TV classics like I Spy. He was able to get the Central Intelligence Agency to bring their private spy collection which had only left the Agency one time before for the opening of the President Reagan Library.
The late Paul Faso was America’s Photographer Laureate. Under the authority of the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., Faso’s photographic art was exclusively licensed by the Foundation as “The Official Limited Edition of the Statue of Liberty” for the Centennial Celebration in 1986 as directed by President Ronald Reagan.
Hugh helped Faso with is his The Final Victory, as he has complied his extensive collection of photos taken at the Ali/Spinks fight in New Orleans into a book and ebook.
Hugh, it was good to talk with you recently! I was wondering if you had a call from Bill at Gerry’s Marine. Thanks! Tony
Hi Tony! Sorry only saw this now. Unfortunately there is no crane available in your area for our purposes. Sure wish that was not the case!
Thank you Hugh, I am looking forward to the Off The Grid broadcast!
Hopefully I will have some ENLIGHTENING ideas to share!

Enjoyed your conversation regarding Geodesic domes in Coast to Coast this morn NGOs. I’m about your age and grew up in Durham, NC. Spend my life as a salesman, selling Colliers Encyclopedia so and Southwestern. Publishung. Dictionaries as I worked my Way thru college. Went to Bob Jones university and then Campbell College, After serving in the USSR, I’ve sold Life and Health insurance for the last 51 years. Good record, never been sued or received a complaint against me or my bad ness.
Would like to learn more about your First and if you are interested in a manufacturer ,Rep. To help market your product.
If so, please write me at :
Thanks Lewis. We will certainly keep you in mind.
Evening Hugh….Listening to you tonight on C2C … what were the books that your African American friend suggested you read that opened your eyes to the “cabal” and the new world order as well as the total disregard of humanity except for the 500 million chosen to survive. I would like to read them. Thank you… Carol
Carol the one I remember was Holy Blood Holy Grail which has recently been debunked. Then he had me start watching Alex Jones.
Heard part of the broadcast tonight on KOGO – have always been interested in dome homes – I read the book by Jan Hornas about concrete being the perfect material for a dome home, if it was done properly – have never found out what happened to Jan Hornas, and how his/her creations have fared over time. Any info?
Nope not on Jan Hornas. Dave South is my friend that invented the monolithic dome in concrete that goes for about $100 a square foot.
Hello Hugh,
Thank you for the work you are doing.I am requesting information on the DOMES you make.
Sincerely,
Bernard Simmons
Thanks Bernard. There is info at my http://www.valentine.international site with FAQs. If you need to find more info please email me at mrvalentineknightstemplar@gmail.com. My manufacturing team said that it would need 6-8 weeks to deliver the dome. In that time you would need 3-4 weeks to cure the concrete foundation and place your electric and plumbing before the package arrived. The 36 foot diameter one would be $14,995 plus shipping and handling. Yes we can build sizes 24, 32 and 40.
Sir, I enjoyed your interview on C2C last night. During the interview you and George Noory mentioned a recent Nat Geo special on a possible new Y2K type issue. What is the name of that special? Thank you.
Jim you should find the article by Googling “Internet is drowning”
I would like more detailed information on the dodecahedron domes for sale. And eco village connections. (From Coast to Coast interview.) Thanks

Hi Hugh,
My mom’s Maiden name Is Simpson and her family is from Scotland as well , her family traveled from Scotland to Prince Edward Island one or two generations ago. I heard our family had Templars as well I wonder if we are related?
Actually I just learned that my mother’s maiden name McAden was shortened from the IRISH McCadden! My Mom always thought it was Scottish!
My Irish ancestor was Hugh The Templar!
