veteran of Wall Street and BigLaw, I focus on fintech, regtech and particularly blockchain. I was one of the first people to get involved in blockchain--I began mining Bitcoin in 2009, long before the technology emerged on the national radar. I became convinced of the true revolutionary nature of blockchain in 2014, and have been an advocate ever since. My background in law and finance provide the perfect skillset to advise on this transformative technology. I am a Certified Bitcoin Professional by the CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (license 091c5d), a member of Wall Street Blockchain Alliance (where I am a founding member of the legal working group) and a member of the Digital Currency Counsel. I am a member of the Bars in Illinois and New York, and the United States Supreme Court Bar.
