About Me

I’m a freelance writer and author who specializes in making investing and trading topics simple, clear, and accessible. I’m also a financial columnist for MarketWatch, where I help readers make sense of the markets with practical, easy-to-understand insights.

Before I became a full-time writer, I was a teacher—so breaking down complex financial topics for readers of all ages is something I do well. Whether it’s explaining stocks, options, or long-term investment strategies, I aim to make the information engaging and easy to follow.

Experience

Over the years, I’ve been interviewed on dozens of national radio shows and featured on financial news programs such as CNBC and ABC’s World News Now to talk about my books and market insights.

In addition to writing columns and books, I’ve created educational articles, blogs, white papers, reports, scripts, and curriculum—often as a ghostwriter—for some of the world’s leading financial firms. I also use HTML and Adobe Illustrator to design and publish both print and digital books.

Best-Selling Books

I’ve written 10 nonfiction books on investing and finance, including two bestsellers:

·       Understanding Options

·      Understanding Stocks

Each has sold over 100,000 copies and has been translated into 13 languages—most recently into Thai and German.

My 2024 release, Help Your Child Build Wealth (Wiley), is now available. I’ve also recently published Mr. Sincere Teaches You How to Sell Covered Calls, an easy-to-understand book about selling covered calls. 

Currently Accepting Limited Projects

Right now, I’m fortunate to be working with a full roster of amazing clients. While my schedule is full, I occasionally take on new assignments that are a strong fit—particularly if the project is unique, exciting, or a little outside the box. If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.

Personal

When I'm not writing, I'm spending time with my family, riding one of my e-bikes, or traveling. Although I love dogs, I have an indoor-outdoor cat, Lizzie, who I rescued in 2022.
