I am founding Partner and CEO of Mauldin Economics and Garret/Galland Research, leading publishers of financial research geared to individual investors and institutions. In 2012, I launched the Hard Assets Alliance, a revolutionary trading platform for precious metal investors. In addition, I'm managing partner of three hedge funds invested in the resource sector. Between 2007 and 2015, I was CEO and Partner of Casey Research, a publisher of financial research focused on the resource sector. The company was successfully sold to Stansberry & Associates in May of 2015. Prior to joining Casey Research in January 2007, I was a principal in Kemp Management, a management consulting firm focused on merger & acquisition, restructuring, and turnaround activities for a variety of private equity firms and financial institutions. In this capacity, I led and participated in dozens of merger & acquisition and restructuring deals in a variety of industries.
