𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Born in a small town of 10,000 people in rural Iowa, my career path has already taken several twists and turns.

Originally trained as a chemical engineer and later working as a sales representative for GE, I returned to business school and subsequently helped drive the renewable energy strategy for Chevron. After holding various growth-focused investing roles at The Motley Fool, I am now living my dream as the founder and lead advisor at 7investing @7investing.

I’m an innovator, always seeking better ways to get things done.

I’m a believer in playing both offense and defense when it comes to investing.
