Stan Reeves is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Auburn University, where he spent decades applying rigorous analytical discipline to complex systems problems.
Since 2021, he has applied that same discipline to bitcoin self-custody and inheritance planning — an area where the consequences of getting it wrong are irreversible.
"Bitcoin's value lies in sovereign ownership — but sovereignty without planning is fragility. My work is to help serious bitcoin holders build custody architectures that are secure, recoverable, and designed to outlast them."
