About Me
My style is to blend financial savvy with a passion for Bitcoin and conservative values. I seek to offer my clients and peers with a fresh, informed perspective on wealth management. I am interested in the intersection of behavior, incentives, and markets. My thoughts are inspired by the works of Srinivasan, Booth, Alden and many more. My values stem from my Christian faith. My hobbies, marriage, and involvement in communities keep me inspired. To stay active, I enjoy skiing, golfing, camping and hunting. #1 YIMBY and urbanist.

TNS Connect in one sentence: TNS Connect accelerates the adoption and maturity of network societies by offering education, community, tooling, and curated content.
In one paragraph: We believe networks have power and are the most efficient means of measuring countries. We see that institutions are failing. We see new institutions rising up. We believe new institutions need to evolve fast. Creating a pool of educated netizens decreases the cost of experimentation. By connecting networks, they will learn faster. We believe the future should be accessible to all. There needs to be a simple onboarding path. It should be accessible and open for any who desire. This time, the new world will not be built on the backs of a slave class. No one will be left behind against their will. We believe education is freedom. We are providing community and structure for new network state leaders. We are providing education and tooling for new netizens.
