I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife and two kids.
I’ve spent most of my career working in early-stage environments where products, markets, and assumptions get tested quickly.
I grew up in a rural, off-grid solar powered home, and later studied across computer science, film, and media at the University of Vermont.
That background shaped how I work: practical, skeptical of untested ideas, and comfortable figuring things out as I go.
Since then, I’ve founded and exited a few small companies and worked across product, business development, design, and go-to-market roles, often wearing multiple hats in lean environments.
Most recently, I spent several years at EMURGO working on strategy and growth initiatives across stablecoins, wallets, and tokenized assets.
That work included sourcing and evaluating RWA opportunities, supporting the launch of Anzens’ USDA stablecoin, and thinking through how these products integrate into infrastructure like Yoroi Wallet, CTRL Wallet, and SecondSwap.
A recurring theme in that work was understanding how things actually behave once capital moves, particularly around liquidity, redemptions, and distribution.
Lately, I’ve been spending time independently digging deeper into these questions across credit, yield, and asset structures.
I’m always open to thoughtful discussions around Web3, DeFi, fintech, and adjacent areas where technology and incentives intersect.
