Brandon Smith
Founder
Brandon is the founder and chief strategist behind the Alternative Market Project. His goal is to create a barter networking hub and educational gathering place for every American across the country who wishes to decouple from our current collapsing financial system and build something better. Getting people out of their homes and meeting face to face to organize meaningful relationships, and eventually, entire free market communities designed to shield cities and states from economic and political danger; this is the mission of the Alternative Market Project.
Joshua Ogden
Web Developer, Media/Marketing
A filmmaker by education, a musician by passion and a web developer by trade, Joshua volunteers his time and skills in support of the Alt-Market project. Joshua is the creator of Neither Corporation (currently on hiatus), an independent media brand intended to undermine corporate consumer culture by use of gonzo marketing tactics. The project came to maturity and became wildly successful when Brandon Smith came on board as a writer and economic analyst, leading major websites (such as Zerohedge and Infowars) to syndicate Neithercorp's original content. In addition to website construction, Joshua serves the Alt-Market project as a graphic designer and strategic/marketing advisor.

To complement our farmsteading (poultry and gardening), we aim to contribute, substantively and effectively, to local, regional, and national efforts needed to build infrastructure, nurture networks, and sustain ourselves, friends and neighbors, and the larger community in the months and years to come. To that end, I and others have taken the lead to form an Alt-Market group, Golden Force Nevada County CA."
