Statement of Intention: I had been invited to become a steward some time ago by Fred and Shawn when they were leading MMM and I had hesitated for some time. Stewarding a DAO is a huge responsibility that I don’t feel should be taken lightly and so I waited. Now that I’ve been co-leading MMM alongside @CoachJonathan, I feel I have adequate knowledge and insight into the org to really be able to steward responsibly and intentionally.

Why Gitcoin?
Beyond just being my place of work, I feel that Gitcoin is a signal for all forward-thinking optimists. Its success is important to me because it is a hub for democratic communities to empower their members to make what they care about a reality.
