I grew up in the green mountain state in an off-the-grid solar powered home in rural Vermont. After graduating high school I attended the University of Vermont where I studied everything from computer science to film & media. Throughout my time in school, I held numerous jobs including snowboard coach, steamroller operator, golf course turf artist, and lobster fisherman.

After bouncing back and forth between the west and east coasts for a couple of years after graduating from UVM, I moved to Santa Barbara, California, and started my career in technology and entrepreneurship. I also picked up surfing and produced a handful of award winning adventure documentary films. In 2014 I moved to Portland and continued my career in tech. I've founded multiple companies and have held various roles ranging from sales and marketing to web development and product design. Check out my LinkedIn to see my work history.   When not working, I like to spend time exploring the mountains and coast with my family and friends.

I'm currently working full time at EMURGO as Fintech Community Lead, where I collaborate on product and community initiatives for fintech related products Yoroi Wallet, Anzens, and USDA stable coin
