As an early adopter and innovator in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space since 2009, I have established myself as a globally recognized expert in regenerative systems design, particularly focusing on place-based investment structures, community currencies, digital marketplaces, and participatory governance systems. My work includes pioneering the first decentralized exchange—laying the groundwork for modern DeFi—with Bancor, and advising entities ranging from the New York State Assembly to the City of Berkeley on blockchain applications. As an instructor at Cornell Law and co-creator of "Exploring MycoFi," I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to cryptoeconomics, combining fifteen years of hands-on experience with academic rigor and a commitment to sustainable, community-driven solutions.
