About me

About me and Disclosure (includes a list of my personal stock holdings)

I am finishing my MBA at the University of Washington and have a strong interest in personal finance and investing.

I currently work full time as a Systems Engineer in Seattle, WA.  In addition to my science background (Physics BS and MS), I’ve developed a keen interest in money matters.  This interest has been fueled by the Ramit Sethi and his tremendous blog, the Motley Fool staff and their web site (primarily their earlier articles that were more focused on information than pushing their newsletters…), as well as Warren Buffet and his writings , and investing friends Kevin Dillon and Dean Halford.

In my own investments and those I recommend to others, I try to follow the investment philosophy of Warren Buffet.  This philosophy in a nutshell stresses the purchase of stocks of high-quality businesses at attractive (undervalued) prices.
