As a long time Cardano community member and staker, I am a big believer in the power of DeFi to create ReFi and the simple concept of a regenerative world. A world that runs on the fundamentals of nature and natural law. Having studied, history, political science and philosophy, traveled the world extensively (90 countries to date), immerse myself in the cultures to help understand the problems and let my mind and spirit work on developing solutions it became apparent that it was in deed as simple as, "follow the money". After the 2008 financial crisis it became even more obvious. Blockchain technology has the ability thanks to smart contract architecture like we have here in Cardano to program values back into our valuables. If you believe in a world that has enough for everyone to be able to thrive and wan to help create it in practice. I would be honored to be your dRep.

Governance is not for everyone. As a member of numerous DAO's I can attest to that. Just look at the state of voting in much of the democratic world, apathy and indifference are rampant. This comes from several reasons. Lack of time and lack of agency. When people feel disenfranchised, they loose interest and hope. We can restore that and bring back trust little by little right here. The lack of time we as dreps can remove. It is up to us to be here and willing to participate in good faith living up to our values to restore the faith of those that delegate to us in a world that does have the best interest of all at heart.

History, Political science and philosophy background coupled with personal lived experiences in 90 countries and cultures. I believe gives me a unique perspective to be able to view proposals from a zoomed out big picture lens. Along with my long history in the blockchain world beginning in 2011, I have seen and experienced the ups and downs as well as the innovation and growth. In short, I believe I possess the attributes I would like to see in a drep.
