Who am I?

With over 20 years in a variety of careers ranging from finance to tech, and investing my money throughout, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and learned my fair share of lessons. I am not an expert and don’t have all the answers, but I am here to solve this complex, never-ending puzzle of the markets, and hope you will join me on this journey! Hopefully, we will both learn and enrich each other’s lives along the way. I am based in California.
