As the Executive Director of Citizens for Sound Money, and the CEO and Co-Founder of both Mining Life LLC and Meta Gold Miners Club, I am deeply committed to advocating for sound money principles, innovation, civil liberties, and financial freedom. A spirited first-generation Cuban American, my journey is driven by my family’s history of achieving financial freedom after their escape from Cuba.

My career initially began in the realm of political activism. I dedicated significant time as a consultant and campaign manager, passionately advocating for civil liberties. While completing a master’s degree in Government with concentrations in Public Administration and Political Theory, I also worked as an insurance agent with the Knights of Columbus, an experience that further honed my understanding of financial systems.

A foray into Wall Street as a stockbroker provided critical insights into the limitations of the traditional financial sector, prompting a return to my roots in politics and policy advocacy. This confluence of experiences eventually drew me to the transformative potential of blockchain technology. Despite initial skepticism, I have become a vocal advocate for the revolutionary impact of cryptocurrency on our financial landscape.

In my current role as Executive Director of Citizens for Sound Money, I lead initiatives that promote sound money principles through public policy, education, and community engagement. I bring to this role a wide-ranging background in finance, politics, and non-profit management, and am focused on shaping a national dialogue that aims for a stable and economically prosperous future for all.

Through Mining Life LLC and Meta Gold Miners Club, I am also engaged in crypto mining and digital collectibles. Both ventures are designed to demystify complex financial technologies and offer pathways to financial literacy and independence.

I am eager to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations that are committed to contributing to a more equitable financial future and those who are interested in the transformative power of blockchain technology and sound money principles.
