THE NEW UTOPIA GOVERNMENT – INTRODUCTIONS & RESUMES

 


The driving force behind New Utopia was the late Mr. Lazarus Long. (Prince Lazarus) He had been an entrepreneur all his life. He was 80, "going on 50." Before he legally had his name changed, he was known as Howard Turney.

As Howard Turney, (the Prince) he was the former Chairman of the Board of Mayday USA, Inc., he was the Founder and Chairman of El Dorado Clinics, Was the founder and Chairman of Cryogenics Solutions Inc., Former President and CEO of Cogeneration Systems International, and Former Chairman, CEO of Power Resources Systems. Mr. Long was the Founder and is Chairman of The Rejuvenation and Longevity Foundation a non-profit Corporation. He is a member of MENSA, the World Mariculture Society and the International Cogeneration Society.
 

He had received many honors and is listed in Who's Who in American Business Leaders, The International Directory of Distinguished Leaders, Who’s Who in Finance and Industry, Who’s Who in The Southwest and The Cambridge Directory of Who’s Who, 1997 edition. The companies he has founded include food manufacturing (3), Restaurants, mariculture, personal security, medical clinics, and a medical service company. (There will be a medical center specializing in anti-aging medicine on New Utopia.)
 

He had been involved with the medical field for the last several years in the anti-aging area of medicine, and as Howard Turney had received a great deal of television exposure and traveled world wide, appearing on television and radio shows as a spokesperson  in the anti-aging field of medicine… so much so, in fact, that his name regularly appears in books and educational television documentaries on the subject. He became known within the field as “The Father of Human Growth Hormone,” due to his having pioneered and promoted its use in anti-aging medicine.
 

When he shifted his career path to pioneering a new country; one with a stable, free-market economy,  Mr. Turney realized his name recognition in the anti-aging medicine field could be a detriment to the founding citizen’s goals in establishing the new country. He felt that it was imperative that New Utopia not be perceived as simply another offshore medical facility, but primarily as a banking and insurance center, as well as a Caribbean playground and rejuvenation clinic.
 

This is the reason he chose to change his name. He chose the name of the fictional character because as he was portrayed, he held similar philosophies to Mr. Turney. Of course, all of this will become common knowledge, but as he says, “It seemed like a good idea at the time, and I do not regret having taken this step, a new career path, a new name. It seems fitting.”
