I am a freelance writer and author who focuses on investment issues and business communication (and sometimes combine the two).

You can find my writing about stocks at www.gurufocus.com, and on mutual funds at www.whatisamutualfund.biz .

My books include Big Macs & Our Pensions, which explains how the profits of public corporations become the income of retirees.

When not writing, I have had a busy volunteer life, including service as a director and officer of the Airdrie Festival of Lights Society, a non-profit organization that operates one of North America’s largest and longest-running holiday light displays.
