much more about michael van parys and rosa van parys (partners in the corvarys’ group and bright lights in downtown south park los angeles)  in the days and weeks ahead as they work shoulder to shoulder with forbes and the south park development group to build a better mix of businesses for south park and, specifically, to assist forbes with all subjects green.

bottom-line: http://www.downtownlabiz.com is doing a post about the van parys duo and their company because they are enlightened, flexible, and brilliant.

the corvarys group (TCG) sit in the solution’s chair developing sustainable resolutions to often intractable problems for real estate developers and home owners.

it’s not just that Michael is an architect. He is also one of the glittering lights in the world of LEED certification. He is a LEED AP – much more on michael van parys in later posts (note: one of the co-founders of the los angeles business war room).

rosa van parys leads the corvarys group design team and is also a certified LEED AP. International in outlook, a broad thinker, she none-the-less brings a tenable, powerful level of focus on execution that is astonishing. -we will be talking about rosa van parys in later posts as well- she is one of the few women who will be taking a leadership role in the los angele business war room.

wwe deal with all the Van Parys, I think: innovation, trusts, ethics.

when we see what the corvarys group is doing, we think- game changers.

flash post: blue sky session ‘green day’ www.southparkla.com

Posted in Uncategorized by downtownlabiz on April 28, 2009

Posted by: Martin Cavanaugh Porter III, CEO FLV LLC, TomichPorter Inc-Revanchist (www.revanchistgroup.com)

We have just finished our blue-sky session on the topic of: green/organic/human-safe, and subjects related.

The subject of organics, green, certification, and human safe was illuminating and opened our eyes to the complexities of the subject and the opportunities therein. And Forbes Legacy Ventures LLC-TomichPorter Inc is all about opportunity within the frame work of ‘real’.

Which means to say, if we are going to take on this very important client and relocate them to South Park Los Angeles, we will undertake an extensive process to insure their product is the gold standard in organic from process-to-finish. That’s our commitment to the client and to South Park Los Angeles.  As regards South Park Los Angeles-though we’ve just started the blog (it’s not content rich yet), please visit http://www.southparkla.com. Its our blog dedicated to where we live and work and will enunciate, over time, what we hope to develop in South Park. Look forward to your feed back.

Our Chief Information Officer, Brett and I will blog in greater detail about it later, providing you a global overview from both a subject perspective, a business development perspective, and a personal perspective.

DowntownLABiz.Com: The E-Road Cycle-Almost Carbon Neutral

Posted in Uncategorized by downtownlabiz on April 26, 2009

Full Disclosure: Blog Post written by Martin Cavanaugh Porter III, CEO Forbes Legacy Ventures LLC and TomichPorter Inc-Revanchist (www.revanchistgroup.com) . I have not test-driven the e-road, though plan on doing so soon.

You would think that there are multiple transportation alternatives for the average single driver, eco-conscious commuter who needs to zip from a-b without much hassle with some speed (ergo, not a bicycle).

The facts are that there just are not that many choices.

I met Logan Guzman (Senior V.P Universal World Music U.S.A-France) a couple weeks ago at an event highlighting French Artists in L.A (bravo French Artists in L.A-but I digress). We discussed amongst other topics his passion for E-Road-it’s an empowering alternative to Angelenos  who need to be able to get to their destinations with some degree of speed (bike has the capacity to easily run at 18 MPH) whilst being almost carbon-neutral. That’s a big step in the right direction.

Disclosure: haven’t test driven the bike yet, but when I do, I’ll fill you in.

They are having there grand opening today in West Hollywood at:8350 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 from 10-7. You can email them at: sales@eroad.com (guys put a name to the virtual face….sales@…really?  There is not an actual sales person  with a name?) And on the website there’s no one named-just contact customer care dept. I’m sure you guys are great: Let us know who you are-bring the connectivity of personal relationship potential by naming names on the website (just a thought).

Bottom Line: If the quality of the product stands up to its declarations then we the downtown consumer have found a potentially safe, eco-friendly alternative mode of transport at a very reasonable rate.

E-Road and LA Live/South Park LA: (another disclosure, my micro-v.c biz dev firm is headquartered in downtown’s South Park (Zip 90015), one block east of LA Live. Our demographics: extremely affluent, savvy, educated, and seriously eco-conscious. It’s a great market for E-Road (think FIDM etc…). I invite the distributorship and Logan, if he’s got the time, to contact us at mcporter@revanchistgroup.com. We’d love to test drive the bike and if we like the ride (no-pun here), then we would be happy to host a SouthPark “Get-to-know-ERoad Event.”
