Professional Background
With over four decades of experience in the securities and personal finance industries, I am a nationally recognized financial expert and advisor and the author of two highly acclaimed books, Reclaim Your Nest Egg and Don’t Let Technology Crack Your Nest Egg.
Prior to joining CW Advisors I was president of Mercadien Asset Management, as well as president of Mercadien Securities. I am also a past chairman of the National Investment Banking Association, the preeminent national association of regional investment banking firms. I have testified in front of Congress on matters concerning market and financial integrity and subsequently chaired a business advisory group to the House of Representatives regarding the same.
I am regularly called upon by national print and broadcast media to comment on a wide range of financial and investment related topics and trends. For over two decades I have been a frequent guest on CNBC, Reuters News, Fox Business Channel, and the ABC and NBC broadcast networks. I am also frequently invited to speak at colleges, universities and many investment-related forums on topics related to personal finance and global markets.
Personal Interests
I love to write - it is a passion of mine. Writing about financial things - trying to take the complex and make it simple. When I see that light bulb go off and someone understands something at it's base level, then I know I have done my job. I also enjoy the outdoors and hiking as well as traveling.
