I’m passionate about:
- removing pretense
- showing how simple finance can be
- economic thought
- doubling down on your interests
- and Bitcoin
I graduated with a double major in finance & economics from Creighton University and 3 years later earned my CFA charter. I began my career at FTI Consulting in their Corporate Finance and Restructuring group for the TMT industry and then moved to Lion Equity Partners, a distressed buyout private equity fund.
All the while I intently followed Bitcoin, and its development eventually led me to jump into the industry. The world of traditional finance was a great place to begin my career, but I didn’t find my passion there. I realized that my passion lay in finding ways to create and store value (through Bitcoin) rather than extract it.
I decided I wanted to be less professional and more real with people. I wanted to communicate transparently with others, as opposed to the opaque nature of financial institutions. My first step in this direction was writing The 7th Property – it is the resource I wish I had when I first discovered Bitcoin.
