I hope you enjoy visiting this site as I share my writings periodically on various subjects.           

A little bit about me: I grew up in the Central West End of St. Louis, where I attended grade school at Barat Hall, high school at St. Louis Priory, then college at the University of Pennsylvania, and finally law school at St. Louis University.

My professional career included the practice of law and more than 35 years as an investment banker and venture capitalist at Stifel in St. Louis.

My wife Annie and I have returned to the Central West End of St. Louis, having raised four wonderful children over the years.
