I've always been interested in the outdoors and finance. I won my first stock trading competition in 10th grade. Since then I've wanted to work on Wall Street. I also earned my Eagle Scout award with my favorite merit badge being Wilderness Survival. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Business Finance. The problem is that I graduated in the Spring of 2009. My prospects of going to wall street were small.
I ended up working a year for a Financial Planning Firm in Salt Lake City. Since then I have branched out with my own real estate investing and obtained my Real Estate License. My love of finance, economics, and the wild continue to drive me. I continue to seek out education through reading and writing.
I love the outdoors and get away from the city as much as possible. I enjoy backpacking through places few see. I frequent the Uinta, Wasatch, Teton, and Bear Tooth Mountains. I live a self reliant life with many survival philosophies including "if you are prepared, you shall not fear."
The truth is no one has a crystal ball. No one knows the future. There are a million variables, all of which can drastically change the direction of the economy. What we do know is what has already happened. By studying history we can get a glimpse of where we are and where we are headed. History tends to repeat itself. I think this is because even though technology and fiscal policy may change, psychology of humans will not. Great civilizations and economies have cyclical lifespans. They will end. Our current economy will end. The question is when?
We are all attempting to survive in this ever changing financial wilderness. If we work together we just might make it out alive and financially free.
