Bio

Originally from NJ, I received my BS at New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2013. After college, I built big data (when that term was cool) applications for companies serving sectors including agriculture, defense, federal, and financial services.

A nights and weekends crypto side project I started with a friend in 2017 ended up being very successful and in 2018 I left traditional employment to start a crypto analytics company. That company was acquired by a private equity firm which eventually led to me being part-owner of a Bitcoin mining facility in Montana.

In 2021, I was part of the founding team for the Arcade Protocol. That project has now grown into a larger ecosystem of NFT users, developers, stewards, and stakeholders, collectively called ArcadeDAO.

I currently live in Miami, FL, having prior lived in numerous other states and cities including NJ, NYC, SF, DC, and Raleigh, NC.

Outside of crypto, I collect analog synthesizers, drum machines, and other studio equipment primarily for electronic music production. I have an extensive collection.
