#American as apple pie. Joined the Army at 17 years of age. Did cool stuff for a while. Work/education history is so mainstream when introducing yourself, but if you want to see mine, my LinkedIn is shared below.

I presently serve as one of the Founders and Lead Investigator for CipherBlade, the first (and presently only) firm that provides the specific services offered. Most well known for investigating cryptocurrency scam/hack cases, but recently focusing more on serving as a consultant and expert witness.

When not doing blockchain forensics to trace stolen cryptocurrency or prove an obnoxious vaporware ICO YOLO'd investor funds, I'm probably chilling with my cat, Chaos, or somewhere in the woods with my Siberian Retriever puppy, Havoc.

Age: 29-ish

Residence: Pittsburgh, Murrica

Political affiliation: Realistic-Libertarian-Contrarian-Cyborg

Drinks/smokes/drugs: This industry would probably cause one to. Jest aside, whisky neat, and if you put ice in it after I say that, we're done.

Religion: Jedi as per my dog tags, still ponder if I'd have gotten a taxpayer-funded Jedi funeral if I got killed

Occupation: Cryptocurrency cybercrime investigator/blockchain forensics expert/expert witness/person that can prove when people are being dishonest on blockchain topics

Interests: With a slice of time set aside for what I call "impact projects," building out a generation of investigators in this space to fill the current complete lack -- guest lecturing, running courses, etc. Taking even smaller amounts of time to expose fraud and causing criminally mismanaged blockchain companies to hire full time admins/fake profiles to fight "FUD" (FUD also known as evidence on insolvency that could be refuted in 60 seconds.)

Was this inspired by Vitalik: Yes
