About

I build things that bring people together. Community isn’t a buzzword. It’s the most powerful force for growth. I’ve spent years proving that. Built C3 Community from scratch. Shut it down when it outgrew its purpose. No regrets. Founded THE DNA Network, a playground for ambitious people. DNA School → A 3-day masterclass where creators learn the content game. DNA Village → A co-living experience teaching real-world skills. DNA VC Café → Founders meet investors—no fluff, just real connections. DNA Documentary → The raw, unfiltered story of creators building online. What I’m Building Now 🔥 Bonfire → A product that keeps groups and teams accountable. 💬 Habitate → Community software that lets brands own their audience. 🎯 Scrollme.today → Helping people create a page about themselves. 💰 DNA Knots → A currency built on trust and value within the community. My journey has led me to write “Anyone Can Build a Community”, a book that breaks down the art of building meaningful communities in a simple, conversational, and practical way. A busy crowd is noisy. A busy audience is engaging. A busy community is powerful. I build the powerful ones.
