I’m a baby boomer, who over the years has been fortunate enough to build some wealth, learn to invest and trade, and yet has not forgotten my basic blue collar, mid-western values. Via Common Cents, I strive to provide a basic, down to earth, main street view of the equity markets, general trends, and specific investment ideas without the Wall Street noise, spin, and complexity. It is my hope that my insights can contribute in a small way to the improved socialization of investment advice for the benefit of all individual investors.
From a background perspective, I have a computer science degree from the University of Illinois, have held senior executive management positions in major IT and management consulting firms, live in the Chicago area with my wife, and enjoy golfing and cheering for Chicago sports teams.
