Howdy. I'm Ben.

I'm from the attractive Sebastopol, California though I've lived in a few other neat cities — London, Madrid, Lyon, Guayaquil, Guatemala City, Arlington, Los Angeles, and currently, Tivoli.

Some days I read books, bake bread, write songs, and swing dance. Other days I debate the fine balance between markets and governance and strategies for managing investments and risks.

If you'd like to take a walk and and chit chat, drop me a note. The phone is as good as a forest for a conversation and I'm always looking for excuses to step away from the computer and get outside.

I work online and update my personal website at daring intervals.
