I live to get my colleagues and myself to think beyond our common barriers, to solve everyday problems, and execute workable solutions in the global environment. I believe in a higher standard of living for all members of the world community, achievable through intelligent and sustainable means of commerce and development. My educational background includes Public and Private International Law, International Environmental Law, and Internet & Intellectual Property Law. I have experience living and working in developing nations, helping municipal governments achieve sustainable humanitarian objectives.My grasp of Internet & Intellectual Property Law is complimented by my deep technical knowledge of how the Internet works. I'm well-versed in web development and emerging payments technologies like Bitcoin. I've organized a number of Bitcoin education and adoption initiatives around Chicago.
