Co-owner of EnCirca, Inc., an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar founded in 2001. EnCirca specializes in restricted and regulated top-level domains where verified professional credentials and regulatory authorization are prerequisites for registration.
I led the launch of Calzone, a resource for the 2012 new gTLD round. Calzone was a shared industry resource for both new gTLD and ccTLD registries to communicate launch dates, policy changes, eligibility updates, and IDN developments to the broader registrar community.
I also participate in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Credentials Community Group and the W3C Schema.org Community Group and have been an early adopter of AI-related and Web3 domain infrastructure.
