About Me

I am a MarketWatch columnist and financial author with a proven record of translating complex investing ideas for everyday readers. My columns appear twice a month and regularly attract more than 100,000 views.

Over the years, I've interviewed some of the most influential figures in finance—legendary investors Peter Lynch, Charles Ellis, Vasant Dhar, and John Bogle; acclaimed traders William O'Neil, Linda Raschke, Larry Williams, Mark D. Cook, Richard Arms, Tom McClellan, and Gerald Appel; renowned personal finance experts Suze Orman, Robert Kiyosaki, Taylor Price, and Kevin O'Leary; and entrepreneurs Tim Draper, Brad Jacobs, and Alec Litowitz.

I've written 10 nonfiction books on investing and personal finance, including two bestsellers—"Understanding Stocks" and "Understanding Options"—each of which has sold more than 100,000 copies and been translated into 13 languages. My most recent book is "Help Your Child Build Wealth" (Wiley).

My background includes research, editing, and ghostwriting—specializing in thought leadership, blogs, newsletters, industry reports, sector analyses, press releases, white papers, and educational content for financial institutions and investment advisory firms.

In addition to my column and books, I take on a limited number of ghostwriting, research, and interview-related projects.

Before becoming a full-time writer, I was a teacher—an experience I carry into every piece I write. I've been interviewed on dozens of national radio shows and featured on CNBC and ABC's World News Now, discussing my books and sharing market insights.

Personal

When I'm not writing, I enjoy beaches, shared meals, good music, fashion shows, e-bike rides, and travel. Although I love dogs, my loyal companion is Lizzie, a cautious but fearless indoor-outdoor cat I rescued in 2022.
