Financial economist, writer/researcher. I have published several peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, and currently edit journal articles accepted for publication in the Journal of Alternative Investments. I write for a variety of publishing companies serving individual and institutional investors and conduct promotional research for private investment companies. As an online professor for the University of Massachusetts, I teach financial modeling (primarily in Excel) and investments. I hold an MBA and a Ph.D. in finance with a minor in statistics. Please see my work samples. I just joined Guru.com today (12/21/2012) and will be adding to that section and completing my profile over the holiday break.
