I co-founded & lead Altitude ($14M AUM), a DeFi borrowing platform where your BTC and ETH earns yield that automatically repays your loan. We aggregate rates from proven protocols like Aave and Morpho, making it simple for long-term BTC and ETH holders to access liquidity without selling. My hands-on experience managing complex positions across DeFi protocols gives me clear insight into where borrowers struggle and where real yield comes from. I use that perspective to guide Altitude's product direction, ensuring it addresses real user pain points while remaining simple to operate. Beyond Altitude, I deploy digital assets (stablecoins, BTC, ETH) to generate yield for capital allocators. I evaluate protocols and projects where capital can go to work, drawing on more than 6 years of active DeFi capital allocation. Investing has been a constant thread in my life. Over the last 20 years I've allocated capital across public equities, bonds, real estate loans, crowdfunding, early-stage startups, and crypto.
