WHO IS GREEN EYE?
After spending his youth surfing and
snowboarding, Clark Tippen met his lady on an airplane and soon there
were kids to follow. They spent the wonder years in Hawaii where Clark
dabbled in sushi and second hand cars. Soon his love for the Earth led
him into working with older Mercedes Benz vehicles- the definitive
Biodiesel cars- and then when the kids wanted more family action, the
family moved back to the tranquility of Oregon. Once there Clark,
considered by many to be something of a polymath come handyman, kept up
with the Biovehicle/Renewable fuel scene, often lending his innovative
genius to a necessary and rapidly evolving niche.
Jacob Frankfort’s
roots stretch far and wide, having been something of a North American
gypsy mixed in with Oregon’s breakaway commune revolution. Part of an
ever expanding family, he decided that there was more to life and
headed off to Europe. It wasn’t long before he had experienced some of
the best of European culture. He settled in Eugene, and for a while Jacob honed
his skills as a master carpenter. He believed that there was an
opportunity for greener vehicles in Eugene and the North West. After
being introduced to Clark by a mutual mentor, the two of them hit it
off and went into business.
If you look around at the car business in
America, then you will see that the green element is rare. If it is
present then it is predominantly for those with greater funds and
involves newer cars. Green eye tries to reach everyone, renewing,
reusing, and adapting current resources in order to provide biovehicles
and green products in a time when the planet is crying out for more
accountability in the way her resources are squandered. Jacob and Clark
are creating a means for that to happen.
