Thought leader, mentor, and global commodity expert, with a grounding in fundamental and technical analysis. Specializing in energy, although my background is as a financial analyst and portfolio manager (while my first love was English literature). One of my key strengths is my communication skills, and my ability to explain financial markets simply and in a unique fashion. My oral communication skills combined with my natural enthusiasm for financial markets have given me the opportunity to excel as a commentator for national and international media outlets including CNBC, Fox Business News, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Marketwatch, Agence France-Presse, Reuters and The Oil Daily. A regular speaker at national conferences, my focus is on intertwining energy with popular culture to maintain an audience's interest; I believe energy and economics are easier to relate to when explained through the medium of a cartoon, rock band, or TV show.less
