First discovered bitcoin while executive producing Snoop Dogg's first performance in India, in 2013. Our festivals in the USA, Canada, and South Africa had the same question come up in 2014 and 2015.

Started Mangrove with, former NASA fellow, Dr Tim Darrah Phd, initially as an AI driven quant hedge fund but have since turned the initial fund's trading desk into a technology company that provides a non-custodial investing and trading marketplace for self directed investors and professional portfolio managers in digital assets and naturally, bitcoin.
