Day Job

Human Rights Foundation

Serving as Senior Director of Operations at the Human Rights Foundation, leading capacity building, finance, and events. I'm the executive producer of the Oslo Freedom Forum — one of the world's most important gatherings for human rights defenders and dissidents.

In 2024, I co-founded the Finney Freedom Prize — an award honoring individuals who advance financial freedom and human rights through Bitcoin, named after the legendary cryptographer Hal Finney.

The through-line between Bitcoin and human rights has never been clearer to me. Freedom of money is a prerequisite for freedom of everything else.

Writing

How to Think About Bitcoin

Working on my first book — a first-principles framework for understanding Bitcoin. Not a price prediction. Not a technical manual. A guide for anyone who wants to actually hold a clear mental model of what Bitcoin is and why it matters, even as the noise gets louder.

If you want to know when it's ready, get on the list.

Building

Demand Response Startup

Quietly building at the intersection of energy markets and decentralized coordination. The demand response industry is broken and ripe for disruption. More details coming soon.

Operating Principle

"The key to life is to know nothing."

The more you think you know, the less room you have to learn anything real. Stay curious. Stay humble. Build.
