In 2012 I started working at Wells Fargo as a personal banker, and one of the questions they asked during the interview process was what area I wanted to focus on for my career, and I had zero idea. Luckily the branch I worked in had a fantastic financial advisor who encouraged me to learn more about investing because he thought I would be good at it. And thus began my love for all things investing.

Value tilting toward quality. I try to hold companies for the long-term. I haven't sold any positions, including my dog, $INTC in over 2 years. My main goal is to find high-quality businesses and hold them until the thesis changes.
