Biography
"DAD, WHAT'S AN ECONOMY?"
My 8-year-old asked in March 2020. I gave the standard answer about buyers, sellers, and markets.
But something felt incomplete.
So I Googled it. Humanity's first economy was called a "foraging economy."
An economy isn't just commerce. It's nature. It's how humans, one species among millions, distribute the resources we need to survive.
That realization changed everything.
We look to nature for inspiration everywhere - birds inspire flight, plants inspire medicine, ecosystems inspire design. Why not look at how nature distributes resources when designing our economy?
I design circular economic infrastructure that distributes resources the way nature does, through layers and decentralized cooperation.
I then build this infrastructure as a licensed investment advisor, funding regenerative ventures that build the circular economy.
This is a practice, like nature itself. Dynamically adaptive.
For 3.8 billion years, ecosystems have distributed resources through layered infrastructure. Infrastructure comes first. Then competition drives excellence. This layered approach creates the conditions for systems to self-organize and thrive.
Human economies inverted this. We force competition FOR infrastructure itself - banking access, investment capital, data. Resulting in corporate consolidation and concentration of wealth mirroring concentration of power.
That's what I'm building differently.
I spent 366 days proving this works. Invested every single day. Evaluated 1,000+ opportunities across 20 crowdfunding platforms. Funded 500+ businesses. Deployed $12K earning a 20% annualized cash flow return after 2 years.
Entities designed for regeneration compete financially with entities designed for extraction.
I'm not alone either. Look around. People are tired of corporate greed and are actively showing up to make building this infrastructure possible.
Ready to show up? I help make it easy for you.
I work with inheritors transforming portfolios, independent investors building their own, and partners building fair-distribution financial infrastructure.
I can't build this alone. Neither can you.
But together? We might just have enough expertise, capital, and time.
