JP, born on Bathurst Island, North of Darwin, was homeschooled in rural Northern Territory, finishing Top 6 for the state in his final year.

He then joined the Air Force and studied Aeronautical Engineering, graduating at the top of his year in 2009 with First Class Honours.

After completing his pilot training, and earning top course awards, he began Fighter Training in 2012. He ended up accumulating 2000+ flight hours and flew all over the world.

In 2013, he transitioned to crypto, initially building various decentralized applications. In 2018, along with a team of 5 engineers, he began building a decentralized platform called THORChain under the pseudonym “Leena”.

In 2024, JP turned over THORChain to the community and revealed himself. Currently, it is the largest decentralized liquidity protocol in the world.

Now, JP is working on several other projects and a movement, "ACEL", in an attempt to save humanity from stagnation and accelerate technological advancements.
