About me

On leaving university, my original plan was to be a lawyer, but my legal career was cut short by ill health. Whilst convalescing, I got interested in finance and then discovered The Fool. My writing career began at Citywire in 2000, followed by a stint at breakingviews, and then I came ‘home' to The Fool as an Investment Writer in 2005.

Away from work, my interests include politics, theatre, cinema, and radio. I'm also a big fan of The Beach Boys and Paul McCartney. I can bore on about them for hours.

My role

I'm the Editor here. That means I'm responsible for all the articles on the site. When I get time I write the odd piece - normally on investment or economic issues. And I take part in podcasts too, which I love. Even better, when David Kuo is away, I get to present!
