I’m passionate about exploring the intersection of technology, art, and culture. As CEO of CIOPPINO, I’ve had the privilege of building a company that blends blockchain technology, digital art, and culinary experiences in ways that feel fresh and deeply connected to community. In our last five years, we’ve generated over $6 million in revenue—a testament to the incredible team and partners I get to work alongside every day.At CIOPPINO, we’re not just talking about innovation; we’re living it through projects like r33d, a blockchain project that’s rethinking customer engagement, and Noble Wave, our award-winning restaurant in Salem, Oregon. Noble Wave has evolved beyond a dining space into a hub for digital art and web3, where we’re bringing NFTs to life in a way that’s accessible and exciting. Through partnerships with artists worldwide, we’ve turned it into one of the most visited NFT galleries globally, with over 50,000 visitors each year.This journey has taken me from the US to Türkiye, the UAE, and beyond, as I work with an incredible network of creatives, technologists, and visionaries. I’m grateful for these experiences, and I’m looking forward to what’s next as we continue pushing boundaries and building connections that make a real impact.
