About

I'm Executive Director of the Open Commercial Media Ecosystem (OCME), a member-governed alternative to gatekeeper-controlled creator platforms. I co-chair the Human Experience Working Group at the Trust Over IP Foundation.

Background: BS Mechanical Engineering, PMP. I came up through engineering, product management, and smart-contract development before going full-time on OCME in August 2025.

Personal Mission

• M1: Bring self-sovereign identity (SSI) technology to 100 million people by 2034.
• M2: Develop decentralized systems that restore economic agency to creators and professionals.
• M3: Build awareness of the transition to a new world view by creating accessible tools that help people thrive rather than just survive this transformation.

Global Problems I'm Working On

• GP1: The lack of cryptographically secure, tamper-evident identity in digital technology has eroded trust.
• GP2: The death of the old world creates unprecedented opportunity, but most people lack the tools and mindset to capitalize on the transformation rather than just survive it.
• GP3: Upskilling is easier than ever, and more important than ever, yet wildly under-appreciated.
