Quoted

For many years, I taught Retirement Planning classes to adults looking to secure the Certified Financial Planner designation.  I don't miss the hard work and the pitiful pay, but I do miss the challenge of teaching complex financial concepts in an understandable and interesting way.  I guess that is why I enjoy working with the media.  Sadly, financial writing has changed drastically over the last 20 years. With fewer reporters that have strong financial training, it is more critical for anyone interviewed to make the information as clear as possible.  

I get tens of generic media requests each week.  You'll see from the articles below that I do not "pitch" to reporters that are looking for hot stock tips or market prognostications, I only send in "my two cents" when I come across a request for information that folks really need.
