Ternio BlockCard

When I was 17 years old - I was homeless. I lived out of my car, worked two jobs and found a way to graduate high school. 20 years later - I was able to be in a position to work for myself. I now own several businesses and hope to make a difference for others over my next 20. I'm a highly political person with an avid interest in geopolitics, history and business. I'm more concerned with doing what's right than what's popular.

I have worked in technology & digital media for over 15 years with a heavy focus on business development, sales, and strategy. My career started as the 1st employee in a media startup which grew into a $50mm a year business during my tenure. I had the opportunity to work in both early-stage and mature organizations, be a part of acquisitions on the buy and sell side, and drive go-to-market strategy for various data and media products. As an advisor and investor in other ad tech companies, I always look to create value and continually broaden my knowledge of the ever-changing landscape. My background enables me to bring unique insight and experience to the next set of challenges I face.
