He was a former Marine, had a love for economics from a very young age, and spent many years with the Central Intelligence Agency dissecting world economies after he served. He then went on to publish subscription-based monthly economic forecast models for major industries around the world until he retired about 2 years ago.
He loved submitting posts to your blog and would often talk about the stories he read here.
We hope that your readers enjoyed his posts as much as he did writing them.
He is survived by his wife, 3 children, and 9 grandchildren. You will be missed, rest in peace Dad.
