Web3 strategist. Startup operator. Here's my story.
Some people find their calling in a classroom. I found mine in a war room — specifically, a Clash of Clans war room.
What started as casual gaming turned into something else when I began tracking patterns, building spreadsheets, and reverse engineering the matchmaking algorithm to force-match any clan I wanted. We climbed from somewhere in the 40s to #2 in the world. Not by playing harder — by thinking differently.
The guy I was playing with looked at what I'd built and asked one question: "Do you know what Bitcoin is?"
I've never looked back.
That obsession with systems and how things actually work led me to blockchain and Web3. In 2018, as the first employee at Pocket Network, I co-architected the protocol's foundational tokenomics alongside a USF professor — and became an acknowledged contributor to the Pocket Network Economic Paper. I loved it so much I never left.
Today I run Chain Consulting — working with Web3 projects, startups, and operators who need strategic and operational firepower. I also serve as Head of Ecosystem at Pocket Network, and most recently sat on the Economics Committee guiding tokenomics for the Shannon upgrade.
Before blockchain I spent years in design and product strategy — Art Director at 20, my own design company by 22. The through-line has always been the same: turn complex problems into elegant solutions.
Outside of work, I'm drawn to things that require patience and attention — embroidery, puzzles, plants, learning to see through a camera lens. They're the opposite of the fast-moving world I operate in professionally. That's exactly the point.
I travel because curiosity won't let me stay still. New cities, Colorado mountains, road trips with no firm plan. Kaia, my golden retriever and current co-pilot, is still figuring out airplanes.
Depth over breadth. Always.
