In 1964, I began my studies on gold and collectibles via my Uncle, who was a high-end antique dealer in New York. My father was a real estate developer in Kingston, New York. With his contacts in local commercial banking, I began my banking career at 15. I focused my college education on business finance, first at Fairleigh Dickenson University in Teaneck, New Jersey. After a semester in England at Wroxton College I transferred to the University of Arizona in Tucson. I remained in commercial banking until 1986 when I shifted to investment banking with Larson Lehman/American Express and became a stock broker. Initially I focused my attentions on the government bond market, learning the nuances of debt and interest rate moves on bond maturities. In that capacity, I stumbled across non-dollar denominated bonds and added the currency dimension. This led to the discovery of currency life cycle patterns and a deep understanding of the impact of those life cycles on all socioeconomic levels and asset classes. My mission is to translate financial noise into understandable language and enable educated, independent choices. All my work is fact and evidence based and I share these tools openly. I believe strongly that we need to be as independent as possible and at the same time, we need to come together in community to survive and thrive through the hyperinflation I see in the near future.
