Austin has spent over 12 years dedicating his life to protecting and advocating for the environment and the people and animals calling it their home. 

He first began his cryptocurrency journey in 2017 and subsequently probed all aspects of crypto mining, infrastructure, and the  environmental/cultural impact of cryptocurrency mining in particular. He came to see that the enormous negative effects of this unstoppable industry demanded a truly sustainable crypto ecosystem that responsibly and ethically protects the individuals, communities, and environment. Conserve Technologies was born.

Now he advocates for the responsible adoption of crypto mining as a socially and environmentally responsible pathway out of harm and poverty for economically disenfranchised communities in his home state of Kentucky and beyond.
