Sam is affectionately known to all at Decentralized Masters as "Doc".

And for good reason- among his many accomplishments, he has a medical degree, and was accepted into a surgery program.

While fans of Grey's Anatomy could be forgiven for believing medical school is a full-time job, Sam found time to begin his DeFi and fintech journey while completing his Masters of Medicine, and became fully certified in a number of different blockchain-related fields.

And somewhere along the way, Sam managed to acquire a grounding in business economics!

This unusual background combining care for others, a fascination with technology, plus hard-headed business sense have brought Sam success both as an educator and an entrepreneur.

His crowning glory isn't found in the annals of medical journals but in the resurrection of a once-dying Private Career College. Through two years of relentless toil, Sam breathed life into this failing business, transforming it into a thriving health care academy with 11 robust programs, now valued in the seven figures —a testament to his hard work and zeal for success.

Sam's published work on blockchain has brought him a global reputation. As the Head of Education at Decentralized Masters, Sam has become the beacon for the perplexed, demystifying the labyrinth of DeFi and guiding many to their first taste of success.
