Strong media and communication professional with MBA in International Management from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management.I am an award-winning writer with an MBA who has primarily covered business news for major national newspapers and magazines, radio and TV broadcasts, and, of course, online. As a story teller, I have recounted the sometimes jarring ups and downs of the economy, and its effects on industry and the consumer. I have tracked stock movements, earnings, management and operations of many Fortune 500 companies, sometimes to their dismay. I have broken a variety of stories, both enterprise and breaking, and was first on a number of trends that were market moving and consumer driven.I have profiled corporations and their leaders, chronicled the Federal Reserve, product lifespans, Super Bowls and celebrities, wine makers and their industry. I have saved consumers money and from heartbreaks, both financial and emotional. I have guided seniors through the labyrinth of Social Security and Medicare, have offered advice to the debt-ridden and financially downtrodden, and have informed the masses about terrorist attacks, school shootings and natural disasters. I am a jack of all media trades, having also hosted, co-hosted and produced TV and radio shows on business and general-interest topics. Some of those have included daily business reports on WCCO radio, a regular on-air stint with Fox Business News, a weekly business show on public TV, a general-topic, morning-drive radio show with Jesse Ventura, and a stock-related, morning-drive radio show with Jon Najarian. I am a frequent contributor on a variety of TV and radio programs, known for my ability to break down complex business issues for general consumption.

I wrote the Consumer Confidential column for MarketWatch and have covered the markets for a variety of beats, including retail, airlines, food, grocers, drugstores, hotels, restaurants as well as commercial real estate and the business of sports. I also authored a Personal Business column about government retirement programs for the Sunday Wall Street Journal.
