Collaboration Framework

My approach to Strategy, Capital, and Collaboration.

How I See The World

My cognition is visual, spatial, and structural (a form of synesthesia).

In my mind’s eye, I see multidimensional relationships — distances, hierarchies, and conceptual structures — before translating them into language. When communicating, I chose the layer of analysis that will be most useful to you and synthesize what I see into linear thought.

In practice, this means I track not only the ideas being discussed, but the underlying systems shaping them across micro and macro scales, inherently from first principles.

For example, a person’s word choice is much more than the word itself within that context — it is an exposition of their:

  • cognition

  • priorities

  • values

  • fears

  • traumas (personal and intergenerational)

  • social conditioning

  • biology

  • and an illumination of our systems, evolution, what it means to be human, the nature of reality, etc…

(and yes, I am thinking about all of this simultaneously).

This type of cognition allows me to see patterns and create solutions that others would never have considered, but it can also feel alien or intimidating to some.

This is why alignment and expectations matter before reaching out to me.

How We Can Collaborate

FORUS — Capital + Infrastructure Partnership

I work with founders and enterprise networks building systems that can scale through the FORUS blockchain architecture. FORUS modernizes global payment infrastructure by equipping governments, industries, and communities with tokenized systems that increase efficiency, expand access, and create new economic value.

This includes:
• Allocating capital to ventures that strengthen communities, networks, and real-economy participation.
• Designing tokenized ecosystems that create revenue, liquidity, and network effects.
• Structuring incentive models that support retention, participation, and long-term alignment.
• Enabling new business lines through our payments, identity, compliance, and data layers.

My work at FORUS integrates capital deployment with systems design to build the infrastructure that enables high-impact ventures to scale and expand access, inclusion, and economic empowerment.

Castle Placement — Institutional Capital

I connect companies with institutional investors across private equity, venture capital, family offices, strategic corporates, and global funds, and I hold FINRA Series 7 and 63 licenses. Castle Placement is an SEC-registered, FINRA-licensed investment bank that has raised billions for its clients and provides full-service execution from mandate through closing.


This includes:
• Structuring equity, debt, and hybrid raises from Seed to IPO.
• Positioning the company for institutional diligence.
• Crafting an investor narrative that aligns the company’s goals with investor priorities.


Castle operates one of the largest investor networks in private markets, and my role is to navigate founders toward aligned capital partners.

What You Can Expect Me

Respect for time
Time is finite, so I treat it with utmost respect. Every interaction serves a purpose and moves the work forward.

Clarity
I work from first principles. My focus is structure, causality, patterns and outcomes.

High standards
I approach your goals with the same rigor I apply to my own. This means discipline, nuance, creativity, and a focus on building sustainable and scalable solutions.

Efficiency
I reduce complexity to foundational levers. My objective is maximum return on effort, whether the constraint is time, capital, or attention.

Commitment to truth
I operate with full candor and clean data. Reality is the starting point, and every decision compounds from there.

Grace, professionalism, and respect for your humanity
I have built, failed, rebuilt, and healed. I understand the psychological load founders and executives carry — the responsibility, drive, and the outer and inner battles.
