Today's ride by the numbers

Woke up to a flat tire and forecast of rain.  Tire fixed and the day was awesome.  That steak I'm having for dinner has no chance of survival...

About

I'm a data geek, entrepreneur, and sales professional (in no particular order, though I think I like being a data geek the most...). After several years in the publishing and educational software industry with Pearson plc, I moved to Silicon Valley to work with Aplia in 2002, an economics software company eventually purchased by Cengage Learning (formerly Thomson Education). Following my work with Aplia, I went back to graduate school, earned a Masters in International & Development Economics and ran my own consulting firm - Economic Information Services - bridging investment capital and business opportunities in Central Asia from 2003-2007. There's not as much interest doing business in Kazakhstan as you'd think, so I closed up shop in early 2007 and started to work with Altos Research.

When I'm not data geeking at Altos Research, I occasionally teach part-time at California State University-East Bay and Saint Leo University in the areas of Entrepreneurship, Strategic Management, and Economics, and I've taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Finance at the University of San Francisco in 2007-2008.

In addition to the aforementioned Economics credentials, I earned a BA in History from Winthrop University and an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. It's a toss-up as to which has helped me more in my professional career.
