I am a New Orleans native currently residing in Baton Rouge. My academic background is in actuarial sciences and financial mathematics. I've worked for the Louisiana Biomedical Research Network for the past four years and as Research Administrator of Healthcare for the United Traders group for two years. I also contribute to Seeking Alpha (https://seekingalpha.com/author/andrew-roberts/articles).

I am influenced largely by Benjamin Graham's teachings in "Security Analysis" and Peter Lynch's teachings in "One Up On Wall Street". My broad investment niche is the healthcare sector, with some speciality in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industries. I have learned to prioritize the business model in my evaluation. There are many businesses with exceptional operational histories; focus on the business model allows the investor to distinguish companies with economic moat from those which look good on paper but possess no staying power.
