About

I have been (and in a lot of ways I still am) a forester/reclamation specialist from Northern Alberta Canada. I have extensive experience and boots on the ground leading Reclamation Operations Lead at various companies in Fort McMurray, Alberta. I co-founded the Oil Sands Vegetation Cooperative (OSVC), a collaborative initiative that enables major oil sands mining companies to share resources and bank seeds for the restoration of disturbed boreal forest ecosystems. Now I have turned my sight towards developing PrivateACB, a cryptocurrency software package designed to provide private calculations on your desktop so you don't have to send your information to the cloud.

How long is it appropriate to work for one employer?

When I started my first job after school at a small local agency, a project manager once said something like: If someone has three companies on their CV and stayed less than a year in each, it doesn t look good.

I took that to heart. I tried to stay longer in every role, so I wouldn t seem unreliable, even in underpaid jobs I didn t enjoy. I endured it just to make my CV look stable. In hindsight, it was a little bit stupid. (Sometimes a waste of time.)

If Reddit required face scans to prove you’re human… would you still use it?

With AI bots getting harder to detect, there s been growing discussion around platforms using biometric verification (like face scans) to confirm real users.

Cool in theory... Reddit is full of bots, fake accounts and garbage engagement. But let s be real

Reddit without anonymity isn t Reddit.

The one marketing lesson I learned from building an AI product that no one talks about

When we started building Murror, I made the same mistake most AI founders make: I marketed the technology.

"Powered by AI." "Smart algorithms." "Personalized insights." All the buzzwords. And you know what happened? Crickets.
