 Financial Analyst
Fixed Income - Mortgage Backed Securities
Research / Strategy


My goal is to create insightful, readable, and actionable investment research.  I've built my career in the Residential Mortgage sector with roles in Research, Strategy and Quantitative Analytics.  I am a hands-on analyst, writer and presenter with a real love for crafting research. I work best in a collaborative group setting because my best work derives from the free exchange of ideas with colleagues and clients.  I'm an effective individual contributor, finding resources for myself and performing programming and other tasks necessary to accomplish my goals.  I am also comfortable managing groups and projects, as I have at several points in my career.  I look forward to speaking with any firm that seeks to expand its MBS capabilities.
