I am an Australian businessman, investor & technology entrepreneur with a passion for large-scale initiatives that make the world a better place.

My team and I are building infrastructure for verified internet where identity, information, communication, assets, capital and transactions are authenticated by default.

I am founder & CEO of Media.com, and lead other global business initiatives aimed at rebuilding trust online.

The internet has a trust problem - it impacts every single one of us.

My team and I are building infrastructure for a verified internet where identity, information, communication, assets and transactions are authenticated by default.

We are creating a universal trust layer that allows individuals and organizations to verify once and use that identity everywhere online.

This includes:

• A portable verified identity system enabling secure global login across platforms
• Trusted information infrastructure where authenticated content originates from verified profiles
• Verified marketplaces where participants and assets are authenticated before transactions occur
• Verified telecommunications networks where every endpoint is known and trusted

Together, these systems form a unified ecosystem designed to reduce fraud, misinformation, impersonation, and counterparty risk across the internet.

The long-term vision is simple: Trust should be native to the internet - not something users must constantly question.

We are building the infrastructure to make that possible.

I also run my own private investment group which works with investors around the world who believe in the importance of the initiatives we are undertaking.   

I am a proud father and blessed to have an incredible life partner who has shared and supported me on the journey which led me to this path.
