I often get asked these questions.
Where is home?
I have multiple homes! Janesville, WI / Minneapolis, MN / 📍 Austin, TX (current).
Your home page says you're a futurist. What does that mean?
I really wanted a less cringe-y way to say "technologist." I believe accelerating technological progress is the most powerful way to improve the human experience going into the future. I want humanity to succeed, and that will naturally require advancements in frontier tech like nuclear fusion, "industry" in low-Earth orbit, advanced robotics, bitcoin, and more.
What do you do for work?
I am currently the VP of Custody Support at Unchained.
What do you do in that role?
I educate people and businesses on how to manage bitcoin private keys. Specifically, how to use multisignature security. I have helped Unchained grow to collaboratively secure over $10 billion in bitcoin, and am now fortunate enough to lead internal teams in a people management capacity.
How long have you worked professionally in bitcoin?
Almost 4 years full-time!
Why bitcoin?
Much ink has been spilled attempting to answer this question. I'll refer you to my good friend and colleague, Tom Honzik.
What do you do for fun?
I love to cook great meals for friends, read plenty of science/speculative fiction, work on some fun projects,and explore Austin with my incredible wife (pictured right).
What has been your favorite travel destination to date?
Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵
Who made this website? What platform did you use?
The site was hand-coded and is maintained by me.
Do you know how to code?
I am reasonably comfortable with crafting web pages and using git. I don't spam tab in Cursor, but I do get pointers from a plethora of word calculators (ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, etc.).
What did you use to make the image on your homepage?
Midjourney with settings to V6 and using the "Hiroshi Nagai aesthetic"
