Austin, Texas (HQ planned upon funding milestone)
For Investors & Partners
If you’re here to understand what I’m building now and how to engage with me professionally, this is the fast overview.
What I’m Building
Founder of Plethora — a next-generation social platform and trust layer that keeps the familiar surface but runs on a different engine, aligning visibility and revenue with real contribution instead of pure attention.
5+ years of self-funded R&D informing its architecture.
6 patent-structured systems, drafted and prepared for full filing in stealth mode.
Where We Are Now
Sponsor Round (up to US$750K) — structured in two phases to fund prior-art review, U.S. structure, and full patent filings ahead of the stealth window.
US$15M milestone facility — triggers the 18–24-month full-throttle build of Plethora’s trust layer + flagship platform.
Austin HQ will be established as the U.S. operating base when the US$15M milestone closes.
How I Approach Governance & Trust
My governance today is built on transparency, professional oversight, and structures designed for long-term alignment and auditability.

About Me
I’m a founder and systems architect with more than 30+ years of experience building models, tools, and platforms that rethink how people interact, collaborate, and create value. My work has always focused on large-scale problem-solving and long-term structural design.
Selected Milestones
Microsoft validation of an early prototype (“Mortgage Maximizer”) with a projected $2.24T impact on the U.S. mortgage market.
Eco-Intelligent House innovation that earned municipal support, provincial engagement, interest from multidisciplinary researchers, and third-party validation from a biologist and two architects.
Positive-sum design frameworks developed over years of coaching, system development, and strategic architecture work.
Founder of Plethora, built on 5+ years of self-funded R&D and 6 patent-structured systems, now entering the Sponsor Round to file all patents in stealth and prepare for an Austin-based full-throttle build.

Behind the Headlines
You may have seen my name in the media. This section gives the verified, high-level facts and the context behind them. For those who want the complete, detailed version, the full long-form story is linked below.
What Actually Happened
Revenue Québec conducted a large-scale investigation connected to the eco-house project.
The process became financially unsustainable.
I accepted a plea deal to stop the financial hemorrhage and protect my family.
The sentence was fully served.
What This Changed in How I Build
Absolute transparency in structure, governance, and oversight.
Zero tolerance for administrative ambiguity or institutional assumptions.
Legal-first approach to every venture, from IP to operations.
Systems and processes designed for long-term alignment and auditability.
Where I Stand
I’ve been building systems for more than 30+ years. My work has always focused on structure, architecture, and long-term thinking — not trends, shortcuts, or performance for the sake of appearances.
My approach today is grounded in R&D discipline and precision. Plethora is built on five years of self-funded research and six patent-structured systems designed to support a new trust and revenue layer for the internet.
At the core, I operate on positive-sum principles: alignment over ego, loyalty over opportunism, and collaboration over posturing. I work with people who build, who think long-term, and who value clarity and integrity in how we operate.
What I Look For in the People I Work With
Long-term alignment and mission-driven thinking
High standards, zero drama
Clear communication and accountability
Respect for governance, structure, and process
Builders who contribute more than they posture.
