When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.

— Marcus Aurelius

Backstory

I grew up surfing the beaches of Southern California, but now I’m more likely to be found hunting in the mountains of Idaho. I’m a proud father of 3 and married to an amazing woman who puts up with my *hilarious* dad jokes on a daily basis. I studied Philosophy at UCLA and have always been one to question…well… everything. Over the last decade, I began studying the history of money, Austrian Economics, and the current US monetary system. Thankfully, this ultimately led me to Bitcoin. Before joining Swan, I worked for Google for 15 years in various customer-facing roles.

Bitcoin story

Once I realized that our debt-based fiat system is designed to make the average person poorer over time via inflation and debasement, I began looking for ways to mitigate this outright theft of our hard-earned savings. At first I naively assumed that all “cryptos” were like Bitcoin, but after getting scammed by a few pump-and-dump junk coins, I got very serious about studying and understanding Bitcoin and finally saw the beautiful orange light. Bitcoin fixes our broken money, full stop.

Interests

When I’m not talking to friends about Bitcoin, I enjoy working out, writing music, overland camping, long range precision shooting, archery, hunting, homesteading, surfing, and spearfishing.
