Brian is a multidisciplinary creator working to bring about a brighter, more sustainable future using blockchain technology. Brian's background encompasses over a decade of experience investing in real estate, with additional disciplines in product development, software development, and data aggregation.

The Blockcities platform is a bridge between digital and physical worlds, where users are able to bring concepts into physical form through a process of Voting, Reservation and Investment into tokenized assets.
