Founder/CEO

I've been fighting centralized systems for 25 years. -Watched two of the world's largest tech companies steal my friend's patent and outlast us in court for 15 years. -Built a #1 brand on Amazon, then watched them destroy it overnight with an algorithm change. -Last Year I was debanked for sending money to Coinbase. I learned the hard way: you can't beat them in their system. Patents don't work. Lawsuits don't work. Banks don't work. So I built Fisheez: The first blockchain marketplace that crushes every competitor's model. - Safer than Craigslist/Facebook (escrow for everything) - Cheaper than Amazon/eBay/Fiverr/Upwork (0.5-8% vs 15-45%) - Fairer than all of them (fees DROP as you sell more, not increase) - No banks needed (USDC stablecoins on BASE blockchain) - Classifieds to connect- no crypto wallet needed Goods, services, vehicles, real estate. Sell anything with blockchain escrow or just connect directly. And because small businesses also get crushed by the search algorithm game, I built eezyRank: an AI ranking engine that generates blog articles, location pages, and service/product hubs so any business on any platform (Shopify, Wix, Webflow, WordPress, custom) can rank on Google, AI search, and the map pack without hiring an agency. Built for small businesses to thrive, not get exploited. Launching soon 2026 USA → fisheez.com
