I was born and raised on a cattle ranch in west central Wyoming where my family homesteaded in 1893. I've always been fascinated by technology and struggled to straddle the divide that seems to have developed between the western heritage that I grew up in and the future led by technological advancements. With an innate curiosity to understand how the world functions, I've been drawn to complex systems science, macroeconomics and monetary policy. It seems somewhat fortuitous that Wyoming has taken the lead in blockchain which combines my most captivating curiosities.
With 18 years of local and regional experience in, business, marketing, graphic design, web design, I see the vast opportunities in blockchain, digital assets and decentralization and am eager to take part. I have been accumulating knowledge as rapidly as possible around blockchain, code, Linux system administration, DApp development, and DeFi. I truly believe blockchain and decentralized technologies are the new frontier.
On a personal note, I have a deep love and appreciation for Wyoming and the outdoors. I spend as much time as I can; mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing and horseback riding with my family.
If you're running or are involved in a blockchain related project and in need of a motivated person with my skill set, for employment, partnership or simply networking in Wyoming, please contact me.
Thank you, Heath

Given the state of affairs globally, it appears to me that the transition to a new economic model is on the horizon. I believe that blockchain and decentralized technologies will play a large part in this transition. I have acquired a solid understanding of this new frontier but it is not enough, I want to be more involved.
My two pronged approach, onboarding new people from my sphere of influence and refining and expanding my own knowledge buy actively participating in a project or business. The best way to achieve this is to obtain certifications in Linux, Docker and Hyperledger administration. Hyperledger is shaping up to be the bridge between the centralized and the decentralized worlds. The Cardano project in my opinion, has the greatest chance of representing the decentralized world. Which is why I am actively running a Cardano stake pool and working toward becoming a Cardano Ambassador.
