Motivations
My motivation for becoming a DRep comes from a deep belief in how decentralized and secure systems can improve lives. I’ve seen firsthand how financial empowerment and transparency can transform individuals and communities. The Cardano network represents a pathway toward that future—one where opportunity and innovation are distributed more fairly. As both a professional and a community member, I want to help shape that direction by contributing reasoned, value-driven input on behalf of delegators who share that vision.
Qualifications
I have over a decade of experience in wealth management and financial planning, emphasizing fiduciary responsibility, data-driven analysis, and strategic decision-making. I hold Series 7 and 66 licenses, life and health insurance certifications, a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences, and a Master’s in Business. I’m passionate about emerging technology, innovation, and the responsible adoption of blockchain systems.

2026-27 Net Change Limit
The Cardano Constitution requires the establishment of a Net Change Limit, which defines the maximum amount of lovelace that can be withdrawn from the treasury during an outlined period of time. This governance action serves as an opportunity for all governance stakeholders to formally express their positions regarding the proposed Net Change Limit, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment across the ecosystem. The 2026-27 Net Change Limit will begin at the start of Epoch 613 and continue for 100 epochs, finishing at the conclusion of Epoch 713. The Net Change Limit will be 350,000,000,000,000 lovelace (350M ada). Unless superseded by a new NCL, this is the maximum amount that can be withdrawn from the treasury during this specific period and shall not be exceeded. The Net Change Limit will be used when reviewing both budget actions and treasury withdrawal actions to ensure constitutionality as required by Article IV of the Cardano Constitution and the Treasury Withdrawal Guardrails outlined in Appendix I.
