Benzinga has allowed me a tremendous platform to explore my passions for trading, investing, startups and venture capital over the years. I was one of the company’s very first employees when Jason Raznick was launching the now ubiquitous financial media brand. Today, that vision is still being executed, and I still have a passion for the markets! My primary focus is on providing our readers with timely and actionable trading ideas across asset classes, fundamental equity research and macro insights. The primary basis for my trading content is based on trend, price, volume and simple technical analysis using support/resistance, trend, and moving averages. On the investment front, I consider myself a millennial value-oriented investor with a particular focus on easy-to-understand businesses with a long-term track record of creating shareholder value and tremendous brand moats. I received my undergrad degree from DePaul University and an MBA from the University of Colorado Boulder. Colorado-based, I enjoy reading, working out, skiing, hiking, fishing, camping, culture and travel! I like the NBA. Go Nuggets!
