Gregory Olinyk's parents taught their six children a simple motto: "Serve life and enjoy life. Everything else will flow from that." Army artillery officer, volunteer fire fighter, Rotarian, Pop Warner treasurer, co-founder of a child abuse prevention center – which earned him a humanitarian award as Connecticut Exchangeite of the Year in 1994, venture capitalist and managing partner of a consulting firm dedicated to helping new companies to start and existing companies to expand or turnaround, Olinyk has tried to live up to his parent's guiding principle.

     Long before September 11th, when radical fanaticism overflowed the Middle East in dark, red waves of Christian, Jewish and Islamic blood here, in Europe and Asia, Olinyk was asking hard questions about how to stop it. On the domestic front, he asked why the U.S. government was bogged down by a bloated bureaucracy and widespread corruption among the very same politicians who we trust to look out for our best interests. His first attempt to solicit and share his thoughts and the views of a diverse cross-section of his fellow Americans was www.ASimplePeace.org.

     ResoNation carries that effort a step further by offering a kind of "national town hall" known as The DayLightForum (www.DayLightForum.org) where Americans of all political persuasions can work together to provide solutions for the challenges of an increasingly dangerous international and domestic environment.
