Steve Woods was introduced to cryptocurrency in late 2012. Starting out as a bitcoin miner, he soon discovered the world of crypto-trading and began researching the markets and various alt-coins. Having come across VeriCoin in its early stages, he was excited to see a coin that was focused on usability, and with a development team that was not shrouded in anonymity. Looking for a place to help-out, he began tinkering with the code, and one thing led to another. Steve has over 30 years of programming experience – 23 of them with a Fortune 500 company as a Systems Engineer and Infrastructure Specialist. In addition to VeriCoin, Steve is an avid rock climber, and has traveled the world looking for the most aesthetic lines to climb.
