My journey began at an early age, serving as a Signals Intelligence Analyst in the U.S. Army. As a proud military veteran, I contributed to counter-terrorism efforts, generating actionable intelligence for special operations forces. This foundational experience taught me the importance of precision, adaptability, and a relentless commitment to safeguarding lives.

Following my military service, I applied my skills to advanced drone systems worldwide, bolstering U.S. defense capabilities and empowering those on the frontlines. These experiences not only deepened my technical expertise but also reinforced my dedication to doing good—whether combating threats abroad or addressing challenges here stateside.

In 2018, I founded BlockTrace with a vision and a mere $3,000. BlockTrace emerged as a leader in blockchain forensics, blending cutting-edge technology with deep investigative expertise. Today, our team collaborates with federal agencies and private organizations to tackle some of the most high-profile cybercrime cases, leveraging data to bring clarity and accountability to the digital realm.
