Ethos Water co-founder Peter Thum ’90, who began selling bottled water as a means to fund clean-water projects in developing nations around the world, is profiled in the article "Ethos Water's Peter Thum: How Did I Get Here?" in Bloomberg Businessweek.
Thum, who studied government at Claremont McKenna, spoke at the Athenaeum about "Ethos Water and the World Water Crisis" in 2006. His most recent ventures, Fonderie 47 and Liberty United, turn guns into jewelry and art.
