Operator/Swiss Army Knife

In 2016, I fell headlong into crypto through finding and reading, "Digital Gold," by accident in a provincial Czech library. From there, I grew into a successful freelance writer in the space. I then leveraged that into marketing positions at two exchanges, advising two startups to seed funding, PR, ops, and full-stack marketing, PR, and BD at Serotonin while also being the Head of Comms for Ukraine DAO.

After two years at Sero, I moved on to Push where I resurrected their DAO and grants program, 10x'd grants inbound, 5x'd partnerships, 10x'd the contributor-base, and brought in roughly $500k in revenue with another $500k in investments.

Through it all, there's one term that defines me, "a swiss-army knife," through and through.

If you're looking for a cookie cutter, typical person, that's not me. If you're looking to shake things up and propel forward further than ever before, I'm your guy.
