I started this blog as a side project after I became an independent trader.

Over the years, I’ve spent a substantial amount of time discussing finances with family and friends who always seem to ask the same questions.  To which, I would spend half an hour writing out the same old answer.

With a blog, I just send them a web link saying “Read This” and problem solved.  If my articles are beneficial to anyone else… then I’m happy to help.

If you have specific questions and can’t find what you’re looking for, just drop me a quick email.

The Goal of Steadfast Finances

My goal is educate those who want to know learn how to grow their money beyond a basic money market account or traditional index fund can provide, while throwing in a few personal finance tips along the way.

My background

My education lies within the hardcore life sciences – protein biochemistry, microbiology, etc.

I began my career as a traditional Research Biochemist working with some rather nasty infectious diseases.  While I enjoyed my work, I quickly found that being employed by the Federal Government had its limitations.

I spent the majority of my professional career as a Process Engineer & Regulatory Affairs Consultant (e.g. biochemical engineering) for Big Pharma.
