However, he struggled through his life to figure out which area he was passionate in. He joined the military out of high school, and now is married with 5 kids. He and his wife focus a lot of their time on family activities, basketball, hide and seek, watching movies or just simply laughing together. When Ethereum came out, he was hooked - and found inspiration in the historical marker that cryptocurrency was making. In getting involved, He found that he had difficulty keeping up with who was building what in the space - and he could only imagine how hard it was for outsiders to keep up. This inspired He and his co-founder to build Zabo, which connects any app to crypto currency via an API.
