About

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.

What I do today: Bitcoin mining consulting; home mining setups, including the Bitwater water-heater element miner; hardware wallets set up right; and Helium hotspots placed in busy locations around Fairfax County, chosen using Helium demand maps.

How I got here: 25+ years running customer operations in telecom and technology — Director of Customer Care at Eureka Networks (175 office buildings, four mergers), General Manager in DC at Broadview Networks, and CIO / Head of Customer Success at Boring Protocol, a global decentralized VPN (2022–2023). New technology only works if someone answers the phone, explains it plainly, and stays until it runs.
