About Me
I work full-time as a ghostwriter and researcher for a highly successful financial company. I’m also a MarketWatch contributor, where I interview financial experts twice a month. My columns regularly attract more than 100,000 views.
I've conducted indepth interviews with some of the most influential figures in trading, investing, and personal finance including legendary investors Peter Lynch and John Bogle; acclaimed traders William O’Neil, Linda Raschke, Mark Minervini, Larry Williams, Mark D. Cook, Richard Arms, Tom McClellan, and Gerald Appel; and renowned personal finance experts Suze Orman and Robert Kiyosaki, among others.
Before I became a full-time writer, I was a teacher, so breaking down complex financial topics for readers of all ages is something I do well.
Over the years, I’ve been interviewed on dozens of national radio shows and featured on financial news programs, CNBC, and ABC’s World News Now, discussing my books and sharing market insights.
Experience
As a professional writer, I’ve created educational articles, white papers, research reports, press releases, and curriculum—often as a ghostwriter—for some of the world’s leading financial firms.
Best-Selling Books
I’ve written 10 nonfiction books on investing and finance, including two bestsellers:
Each has sold over 100,000 copies and has been translated into 13 languages. In addition, my book, "Help Your Child Build Wealth" (Wiley), is available now. I’ve also recently published "How to Sell Covered Calls," an easy-to-understand book about selling covered calls.

Personal
When I'm not writing, I'm with my family—enjoying beaches and parks, sharing meals and music, going to fashion shows, riding e-bikes, taking long walks, and traveling—a magical time I’ll always remember. Although I love dogs, I share my home with a cautious but fearless indoor-outdoor cat, Lizzie, whom I rescued in 2022.
Lessons for Miss V (Lizzie’s Best Friend)
I always learn something new from Lizzie, and from her best friend, Miss V, who once loved her as much as I do. Miss V can't stop and won't stop dreaming of escaping the cage, but the pressure of threats and intimidation keeps her trapped, tracked, and anxious. In real life, courage doesn't come easily. It has to be chosen.
Miss V: Freedom—not fear—is the only way forward, a choice only you can make. I hope and believe you will find a way out of the cage one day. It won't be easy, but I know you can do it. Guess what? It may feel impossible sometimes, but never, ever stop trying. Maybe you’ll show the little one that freedom is possible, if not today, then one day. Don’t ever forget: it’s your life—you can do what you want.
