I The record

From the screen to now.

Before technology there was film. As a child actor, Brock appeared in The Mighty Ducks, D2: The Mighty Ducks and First Kid, then stepped away from acting at sixteen to build.

    II Virtual worlds

    Digital economies, before they had a name.

    In the early 2000s he founded IGE and ZAM, building businesses around online games and the virtual goods inside them, years before digital assets were a category of their own.

    III The chain

    Not just a currency. A new kind of database.

    “Blockchain isn’t just about crypto. It’s a revolutionary new kind of database.”

    An early participant in Bitcoin, Brock’s focus is the long game: education, policy and the infrastructure underneath, over short-term speculation.

    IV Puerto Rico

    An island, and a light to steer by.

    After Hurricane Maria in 2017, Brock made Puerto Rico home, with headquarters in a restored former monastery in Old San Juan. Much of the work now begins there.

    V Civic

    Brock for President, 2020.Every voice counts.

    In 2020, Brock ran for President of the United States as an independent, bringing a technologist’s perspective to civic life: put people first, speak to them directly and truthfully, and look to the future with optimism.

    The measure

    A billionaire, to me, is not someone with a billion dollars, but someone who is positively impacting the lives of a billion people.

    The lesson

    Never quit.

    “The biggest lesson I’ve learned in my life is never quit.”

    Onward
