I earned a BA in theology at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO in 1976. I spent six months working in Iran before the Shah fell. Then I got another BA, in communications, from the University of Tulsa in 1980. I worked in public relations and video production for 15 years, during which time I earned an MA in managerial economics from the University of Oklahoma.
I began learning Austrian economics about 10 years ago and became convinced that it had more to offer the world than the mainstream economics I had absorbed in college. I wrote the book, Financial Bull Riding, because I personally used it to dodge the stock market crash in 2008 and earn great returns during the early stages of the bull market.
I live in Broken Arrow, OK with my wife. Together we raised three amazing children, all of whom graduated from college and are married. Two have given us grandsons!
