I’m the Founder of GhostFire Digital (GFD) & and theAI Digital Underground™ — a next-generation studio built on the fusion of AI, Web3, and Cultural Intelligence. Creator and builder of AI × Web3 domain ecosystems through our Mint-to-Deploy™ Framework. We’re bridging premium domains with deployable brand MVPs — so every name can become a business in a box. AI, Web3, and Cultural Intelligence.

After a rewarding run in higher ed and sales, life handed me a two-year reset — one filled with loss, tireless job searches, and relentless self-education. During the toughest moments, I juggled unpaid roles: job hunter by day, AI × Web3 explorer by night. Losing my aunt was a turning point. Purpose doesn’t wait for perfect timing, so I doubled down on intuition, took my biggest risk yet, and dove headfirst into the future — AI × Web3 digital real estate.

I knew little — just enough grit from New York and competitive sports to be relentless in the face of uncertainty. I learned to code from scratch, shifting from outsourcing to building — design, dev, and vision, all in-house. Through setbacks and self-doubt, I kept pushing, knowing regret weighs more than failure.

As the founder of GhostFire Digital (GFD) & the AI Digital Underground™, I now connect cultures, bridge tech and art, and build next-gen brands for the AI and Web3 era. Over the last 1.5 years, I launched Mint-to-Deploy™ — a framework turning domains into intelligent digital products and ecosystems.

Every brand is a canvas, every domain a story. I aim to partner with those who feel this fire — startups, creators, seasoned builders — because we only get one shot at this. I’m just getting started, humbled by what’s ahead. Let’s build, learn, and leave our mark.
