Baptized into the world of business and travel at a young age I’ve subsequently lived in multiple countries, traveled to many more and built myself a small fortune investing in businesses and markets that I spend an extraordinary amount of time doing due diligence on. People sometimes ask me what I do. It is not an easy answer. I guess I’m an entrepreneur, investor and speculator. I did have a permanent wage earning job once for about 2 years, but never regarded it as anything more than an opportunity to learn something new about the world and grow myself. Plus I make a horrible employee. A background and education in law, Investment banking, and financial planning should have assigned me to a life of suits and ties, mindless cocktail parties and corporate politics but who in their right mind wants that? I have certainly gained more value and wealth from self education, entrepreneurial activities on the ground and being an avid student of the world always attempting but not always succeeding in understanding how and why it functions the way it does, than any university sanitized education could ever provide me with. In fact I would go so far as to say that outside of the engineering fields much of the material published for University consumption is total garbage and a ridiculous waste of capital. I am active investing in and trading real estate, foreign exchange, stocks, and options but my real passion lies in private equity investments. I don't provide advisory and portfolio management services so don't ask. Manage your own damn money! My profile will always be low and I strongly believe that in the world we live in those with wealth and skills need to be increasingly vigilant. The best way to do this is to appear that you have neither.less
