From managing towers to automating markets.
Eleven years, four ventures, and a route into this industry that almost nobody else took.
Construction management
I started my own business in construction management, running towers. It paid, but it was 40 hours a week of stress in a job I did not like, and there was no version of that life where the hours ever went down.
Blockchain got me out
I found blockchain and it became the thing that let me leave the 9 to 5. That was the decision the rest of this is built on. Not a windfall, a decision.
Mining, then Forex
Crypto mining came next, then Forex. Two very different markets, both of which taught me that consistency comes from process and not from prediction.
AI algorithmic systems
Everything since has pointed at one goal. Build automated strategies good enough to be worth running, and simple enough that a person with a basic internet connection and no technical background can actually run them. That is Goodwin Ventures Corp and ClimaxAlgo.
Wallets, cards, and payments
Four ventures, two of them consumer products and two of them trading systems. The details are on the Ventures page rather than here.
Not the standard crypto resume.
Most people in this industry have one lane. These are the things that make the introduction stick after the conference ends.
- 01Combat sports ring announcer. I have worked live crowds long before I worked conference stages.
- 02I own two apps. A crypto wallet and a crypto credit card, both built for privacy, both under DGEN Technologies.
- 03Business development at Coinos, the wallet behind one of the densest Bitcoin merchant networks in North America.
- 04AI automated trading strategies that anyone can run with a basic internet connection and no technical background.
- 05100 speaking engagements across 10 countries, and still in demand.
- 06Eight years performing as a hip hop and rap artist. Stage presence is not something I picked up recently.
- 07One of the companies in the group is preparing to list on the Canadian stock market.

“A strategy that only works if you are technical is not a product. It has to work for the person who has never opened a terminal in their life.
