My professional profile was completely purged by LinkedIn in April of 2022 due to my sharing opinions and articles which exposed and conflicted with the numerous narratives/lies being propagated through the platform. I had over 10,000 connections on LinkedIn prior to the purge. Hence, as I no longer exist on linkedIn, my bio can be found below.
I am a father, husband, entrepreneur, seed stage investor, author, community organizer, Americanist and Christ loving patriot seeking and sharing Truth in Love.
I have spent my entire professional career developing strategic alliances and partnerships within a business development or infrastructure advisor of various sorts. I have worked for and with large corporations, seed stage startups, state and national boards, public/private partnerships, lobbying organizations and economic development groups.
I grew up in the North Shore of Chicago, moved to Silicon Valley for University in ‘98 and remained there until moving to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2016. I currently reside in the upstate of South Carolina not far from Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC.
I’ve had the privilege to travel through 48 of our 50 states and produced various technology related training events and materials over the past 20+ years hosted in most major cities within these states.
Over the past 5 years I have been involved with a number of projects focused on building and delivering cancel proof digital infrastructure, devices and applications that are empowering local communities using decentralized and open source frameworks.
I believe in action, questioning the status quo, learning from my mistakes and simply making things happen.
The future I am co-creating will be local, decentralized and open source. To this end I spend my time empowering local communities using decentralized and open source frameworks and connecting with like minded doers who are:
unafraid to work on the front lines of the war we are in
operating with their eyes wide open
unapologetic in their faith
supporting the America First platform
