I help businesses use technology more effectively. My work sits across websites, AI, automation, product strategy, blockchain, tokenization, and go-to-market. I’m most useful where ideas need to become something real, practical, and usable.

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, curious, skeptical of hype, and comfortable figuring things out as I go.

After graduating, I moved west and eventually settled in Portland. Along the way, I coached competitive snowboarding, founded and exited a few small companies, and worked across product, business development, design, partnerships, and go-to-market roles, often wearing multiple hats in lean environments.

I recently joined Encryptus, where I lead business development and marketing across Encryptus and Anzens. My work focuses on connecting stablecoins and digital assets with payment infrastructure and real-world financial use cases.

Previously, I spent several years at EMURGO, a founding entity of Cardano, working across Web3 products, wallets, stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenized real-world assets. That work ranged from product strategy and ecosystem partnerships to evaluating how new technology can be made useful, compliant, and commercially viable.

I also run altrntv labs, an independent research and product strategy practice focused on the intersection of AI and tokenized financial products.

I like working on useful products and thinking about where technology is going. That might mean improving a customer experience or internal workflow, exploring AI, blockchain, or tokenization, or helping shape an early idea into something clear enough to build.
