A writer, father, and environmental health and safety professional, Eli's life took an unexpected turn when a profound spiritual awakening at the age of fifty reshaped the way he viewed God, purpose, and himself.

Ramiro Moreno on Cleaner Air Healthier Living | 1,559 Ramiro Moreno has spent nearly three decades solving a problem most people do not realize they are living with every day.
