About

Simple ways to earn from equipment you already own

I build simple ways for people to earn from the equipment they already own. I'm the founder of EnviroMine and Tysons Technologies, based in Tysons, Virginia.

I spent 25+ years running customer operations in telecom and technology — Director of Customer Care at Eureka Networks through four mergers, General Manager in Washington, DC at Broadview Networks, and Chief Information Officer / Head of Customer Success at Boring Protocol, a global decentralized VPN.

That background is the point: new technology only works if someone answers the phone, explains it plainly, and stays until it runs. That's how I run my own companies.

What I do today

Four ways I can help

Advice first

Bitcoin mining consulting

Clear, honest advice before you spend anything — what mining can and can't do, what it costs to run, and whether it fits your home or business.

At home

Home mining setups

Home miners chosen and set up for you — including the Bitwater element, a water-heater element that mines Bitcoin while it heats your water, and selected home miners from Altair Technology.

Hardware wallets

Your Bitcoin is only yours if your wallet is set up right. I help you choose, set up, and back up a hardware wallet, step by step.

Fairfax County

Helium hotspots

Hotspots placed in busy, high-foot-traffic locations around Fairfax, VA — sited using Helium demand maps, installed and connected for you.
