Here’s what I believe: people deserve more control over their money, their choices, their future. That means free markets, self-sovereignty, and the idea that you shouldn’t need permission to live your life. I’ve spent the last decade trying to make it a little easier for people to actually have that control.
My path here wasn’t exactly linear. Firefighter, circus instructor, yoga teacher, electrician. Each one taught me something about building things with my hands, solving problems on the fly, and helping people figure things out for themselves.
In 2016, I found Ethereum and everything clicked into place. This was technology that could actually shift power away from gatekeepers and back to regular people. No middlemen, no permission required. Just code you could trust. That idea grabbed me and I went all in.
What followed was a decade of building. TrustSwap grew into a $500M company securing billions across ten blockchains. Uptrennd became the most-visited blockchain social platform in the world. A Facebook group I started to help people avoid crypto scams turned into a 330,000-person community. I wrote a book that hit #1 on Amazon, hosted a top-5 crypto podcast, and funded the planting of 2 million trees. Caring about financial freedom and caring about the planet have never felt like separate things to me.
These days I’m in Squamish, BC, surrounded by mountains and raising a daughter who’s completely rewritten what success means to me. Still building, still curious, but I’ve learned the best ideas come when you make room to breathe. You’ll usually find me on a trail somewhere, thinking through the next thing.
