I am a Ph.D. economist (Stanford University) turned global money manager. My career began in the 1970s with stints at the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve. I subsequently worked on Wall Street for 25 years, holding senior positions with Morgan Guaranty, Salomon Brothers, Prudential Insurance and JPMorgan Private Bank. I capped my career as Chief Investment Officer for Fort Washington Investment Advisors, where I am now an Economic Consultant. Throughout my career, I have written extensively on economics, financial markets and global investing, and I have authored three books on those topics in the past five years. I also appeared frequently on business television programs and in business publications. My goal is to help people understand what is happening in the global economy and financial markets so they can make informed investment decisions.
