IRL: Beyond the Screen
When I'm not building brands, launching crypto projects, or optimizing digital strategies, you'll most likely find me out in the water, surfing—my favorite way to stay connected with nature and clear my mind. Surfing has shaped my approach to business in many ways—adaptability, patience, and the thrill of chasing the next big wave.
I also spend much time exploring new frontiers in Web3 and blockchain innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in decentralized technology. But at the end of the day, nothing beats hanging out with my two dogs, Krunch and Kala, or traveling the world with my wife, Katherine, discovering new places, cultures, and perspectives.
