I started this blog because I got upset about some of the financial transactions I’ve seen and read about, ranging from unscrupulous mortgage brokers selling inappropriate mortgages, to people with conflicts of interest giving biased investment advice, and everything in between.
I teach graduate and undergraduate finance at the University of California Santa Cruz. My courses included financial institutions and markets, investments, corporate finance, and financial engineering.
I hold a Ph.D. in economics, a CEMS Masters in Management, and a CFA charter.
In my previous career as a management consultant with Booz & Co., I worked on many projects for banks, insurance companies and other financial service providers.
