I’m an evangelistically passionate growth/BD strategist & revenue executive with a near laser-focus on web3 & web3 accessories.

In a career spanning top 10 Fortune 100 companies, true decacorn startups, & an incredible range of consulting clients, I (with the support & collaboration of some of the greatest/sharpest humans I’ve ever met… and maybe a few non-humans, too!) achieved:

  • >$1BN Verifiable Revenue Spawned

  • >$100MM VC Raised

  • >~1k Brilliant Co-Conspirators Hired & Managed

One time, a famous French crypto-billionaire got mad because I said “I don’t trade on names” - while I still stand by this ethos, a few companies I’ve worked for/with/consulted to:

web3:

  • L2s including: Base (The Base Foundation/Coinbase), Offchain Labs (Arbitrum), Scroll, Linea, zkSync, & more

  • Over a dozen web3/crypto projects, inclusive of Carol Finance, Stellum, Base God, Quick Intel, Alienbase, Crypto Oracle Collective, Ante, Ethereum Gold Mining Corporation, Detto, Aimbot, & more

Enterprise/DTC/Upsourcing:

  • Hewlett-Packard, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise

  • Toptal (full-time employee #6!) Upstack, UpWork, Codementor, ArcDev, GunIO, BuilderAI, Grupa, SD2Labs

  • Retailers such as: GILT, Zulily, Michael Bastian, Best Buy, TigerDirect, NewEgg & MSPs such as: CDW, Zones, Ingram Micro,

Work Experience

2010 — Now
Boise, ID

I lean on the fusion of specialized web3 knowledge, relationships, & tactics with a decade and a half of battle-tested growth growth marketing, BD, & RevOps strategy to deliver exponential outcomes to a carefully considered set of sophisticated web3 teams, companies, & projects.

Specializing in:

  • Accelerating the growth of promising networks/chains are my passion - this permits me to serve & elevate many chanizens through a single point of focus. From ecosystem building to alliance to decentralized BD - this is my jam.

  • Cultivating my clients/contacts across the broadening universe of EVM L2s like [especially] Base, Arbitrum, Linea, StarkNet, zkSync Era, similar

  • DAOs, MIDAOs, Governance Ops, & community building

  • Turbocharging Decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects - across the full roadmap!

  • Connecting creators/project teams/token teams with institutional resources for stability/growth, and doing the inverse to give larger organizations better visibility/closer relationships with those who build in the ecosystems they support.

The term “personal branding” is most likely to elicit a collective grown from even the most savvy of marketers and leaders at this point. It’s like flossing: we all know we should be doing it, and many of us do, but it’s not exactly something we get excited about.

It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

In this article, I've outlined three specific tactics and tools to supercharge your online presence and monetize expertise in 2023
