REBORN International was founded in 1996 by Jim Sherlock, an entrepreneur and humanitarian whose mission is to inspire and empower nations and their communities. Within REBORN International there are various companies that deal with building inexpensive permanent housing, producing drinking water from polluted or salt water, producing nutrient rich organic mulch from bio waste which eliminates fertilizer, and building solar energy panels for homes, solar street lights and solar refrigerators to name a few. Besides his humanitarian works, Jim is known for being an entrepreneur. In 1980, with only $100, 24 year old Jim founded Aegis Ryan Group. This became the largest auto insurance brokerage in the United States partnering with General Motors, Motors Insurance Company, placing insurance agencies in new car franchised auto dealerships. Two years later he created and named it "GAP" which covers the difference of what the insurance will pay versus what is owed on the lease/finance. Today it is sold throughout the banking and auto industry. In 1998, Sherlock became one of the partners of 1-800-BARNONE, which became the most successful sub-prime lead generator in the automotive industry. A few years later, in 2001, Jim co-founded, along with his good friend MC Hammer, OneCommand; the first technology to use the internet for voice broadcasting. By 2009, OneCommand was ranked by INC. Magazine as one of the top 500 fastest growing companies in the United States. Along with that, JD Power and Associates rated OneCommand as #1 in voice broadcasting. In 2003, he co-founded Galactic Technologies, creator of Enviroseal, a nano particle aerodynamic protectant technology that increases fuel efficiency as well as protects the entire exterior of cars, trucks, boats, aircrafts and skis to name a few applications. When Enviroseal was applied to a Ford GT in March of 2010, it broke the world record for the fastest street car in a standing mile at 267mph due to Enviroseal's aerodynamic finish that bonds to the surfaces. Jim Sherlock has also been a key speaker in various United Nations conferences where he has been asked to talk on entrepreneurship and investment. Through all of these works Jim SHerlock continues to strive towards his goal of creating an entrepreneurial spirit to the impoverished and eliminate poverty with prosperity through the opportunities given to REBORN International. Jim Sherlock has recently extended his humanitarian work to Africa; specifically kenya and its neighboring countries. He has come up with a fund to micro-finance oor and underprivileged people in this third world country. People with business ideas have and ar still benefiting from this fund at ZERO PERCENT(0%) interest rate! All profits made from all other business ventures in these third world countries are all going back to the community to establish infrastructure, sponsor students, take street children off the street and some to the micro-finance fund. Within forty (40) days of his entering Kenya, he has adopted over seventy (70) street children and put them in a REBORN school, micro financed over twenty (20) business, and organized the World Harmony Run in Nakuru, Kenya. He has also spoken n countless meetings and converences addressing thousands of people at a time; inspiring them through an entrepreneurial spirit. |

MC Hammer truly brought rap music to a mass pop audience. Armed with a flamboyant wardrobe (particularly his trademark baggy parachute pants) and a raft of sampled hooks lifted straight from their sources, Hammer's talents as a dancer and showman far exceeded his technique as an MC. Still, he had an ear for catchy source material, and that helped his second album, Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, become the best-selling rap album of all time. MC Hammer along with Jim Sherlock, Ron Fortt and Michael Obeso built the first web based automated voice broadcasting technology called OneCommand which today is one the 500 fastest growing companies in the United States |

Liberia, as doctors and managers. Phebe shipped her first
container and traveled with her family to Liberia to insure that
the end users, the people in need in Liberia received these
desperately needed supplies .In 2010 Relief Inc. Partnered with
an elementary school named Tasama Relief Inc. Elementary School.
We also partnered with Ex-Combatants to distribute their Art

shipments and begin to teach the Liberian people to become self
sufficient. |
