lurid

I got into the tech space, professionally, as a young person, around 1998, although I grew up around computers and always had an affinity for them. But, I have ALWAYS been a people person which, at times, seemed diametrically opposed to tech-based careers. When I realized that being a techie and a people-person was a rare gift, one that should not be and could not be ignored, it was like the universe began to take shape for me. Being someone who is able to explain the advantages of tech to those who might not fully understand or embrace it, at least initially, is a rare gift and I am grateful to believe I am one of those people. Additionally, being someone who can talk to engineers, developers, entrepreneurs, and other visionaries who can, at times, be difficult to understand, and fully understand them or at least get to the point where their motivations and desires become clear is, quite possibly, an even more rare gift. 

On top of that, being someone who can understand complicated legal, contract, cultural, and financial landscapes has allowed me to do work that I would not have imagined as a young one and has taken me to places I never knew existed. I am eager to continue my journey and learn more, work with more amazing people, go to places I haven't seen, recognize genius, and build awe-inspiring things.

As an early adopter of crypto and watching the growth of the Web3 space, I am more than excited to see how the landscape matures and becomes the standard and I want to be a part of it. I believe we are just beginning to understand the impact that  Web3 and NFTs will have on artists, contracts, business, the growth of the metaverse (whether it is through Meta [FB] or not). I will be a part of it.
