I was the former lead educator and community manager at GameStop NFT. It has been my privilege to teach hundreds of thousands of people new to crypto about how to make their first NFT purchase. I learned from Matt Finestone, who has become one of my mentors.
Fast forward to 2023, I joined Protocol Gemini with Brenden Dearie to create interoperable metaverse assets. After building on walled garden platforms for over 2 years I had to make a change, and with Brenden's encouragement I began working on something that had more meaning to me - something that would benefit our whole community of creators and builders.
In 2024 I launched TheCreators.com, an art & tech collective, currently taking the form of a private networking group of entrepreneurs, memes, and celebrities. Our goal is to further the agenda of the onchain creator economy, creating open-source tools and building powerful open distribution networks that will boost any creator or builder wanting to take advantage of it.
In July 2024, our first project as a collective was launched together with founding members of Wu-Tang Clan. We created the Shaolin Financial Charity Army along with the Shaolin Art Center, a powerful combination that together raised almost $10,000 to feed children in the Dominican Republic within its first two weeks.
Right now our focus is growing The Creators network, and putting some of our more ambitious projects in motion.
