About Me
Family comes first, always, but I’ve got a knack for Bitcoin and a taste for leading product teams through the chaos of fintech. Got one boot in the old world of traditional finance and the other planted firmly in the wild frontier of digital assets. I don’t just talk shop – I make things happen.
My Journey
Tradfi Roots... Defi Shoots
I cut my teeth in places like American Express FX and Truist, where I learned to dance with regulators without stepping on any toes. Compliance, risk management, all that – did it, nailed it. But the itch for something with a little more meaning got me moving. Found myself deep in the decentralized finance world, driving product at Block.one and Bullish.com. My projects and products included L1 protocols, fund raising, building zero-to-one apps, even launching golobally regulated digital asset exchanges – you name it, I’ve had my hand in it. I don’t just build products; I build companies.
What gets me up in the morning? Working with razor sharp minds who don’t just talk change but make it. No fluff – just smarts, grit, and results.
My Happy Place
Books, Beef, and Buffett
Life’s not just numbers and protocols. I keep things simple when the laptop’s closed – spending time with the family, knocking out ribs low and slow in the smoker, thumbing through heavy books that make you think twice about the world, and getting on a sailboat every chance I get. Oh, and if you catch me cranking up some goofy trop rock tunes? Don’t judge – we all got our vices.
My Calling
Build Something Great
Builders make the world better – fast, purposeful, and real. I thrive in environments that value action over endless meetings. Austrian economics and praxeology shape my thinking – helps me keep a clear head when the pressure’s on. I want ideas off the drawing board and into the hands of the people who need them, simple as that.
Faith keeps me grounded. It’s a compass in all things – personal, professional, and everything in between. Right principles guide the right outcomes, and I carry that into every project I take on.
Let's Have A Word
I'm All Ears
If you’ve got a project that needs someone who understands both the traditional finance grind and the wild ride of digital assets – particularly Bitcoin – we should break bread. Whether it’s a startup idea or just a good conversation, let’s connect. —
