Before entering the Web3 space, Jarrett spent a decade in luxury hotel management, most recently with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. In 2006, he founded a real estate investment company, which he continues to own and operate.
His journey into Web3 began in 2017 when he started investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This experience led him to become an educator and speaker on NFTs, crypto, and blockchain.

StudentThe cryptocurrencies foundation course was very helpful since it takes every branch of the crypto world and breaks it down so everyone can understand the basics of the whole. Jarret was an excellent prof, knowing very precisely when and how to do a certain approach so we could take the very best of each topic, also open to answer every question.
