I am an independent consultant/researcher for investment firms. I look for mispriced and misunderstood securities and situations, and this is usually found in small to medium cap stocks.

I always do a discounted cash flow model for a stock in addition to my written reports.

My goal on Seeking Alpha is to share knowledge with others, and learn from others. Investors shouldn't follow my advice unless they've done due diligence and can understand my investment theses.

I reside in New York City. I graduated from UC Santa Barbara and I have passed all three CFA exams on the first sitting.

I enjoy intellectual pursuits like mathematical problems, human psychology, economics and world ...More history. I competitively play games of skill like poker and chess. I was a professional poker player for four years.
