About the Author
I grew up in Duluth, Georgia, and studied electrical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. With an interest in Europe—and a Spanish girlfriend—I did my graduate work at Georgia Tech’s campus in Metz, France.
I started my career at the European Space Agency in Germany, and in 1997 founded an engineering company there called Makalu Aerospace.
In 2000, I started a second company called Makalu Interactive that has designed and built products for brands like Google, Virgin America, and Catalog Choice.
Today I live on the southern coast of Spain, enjoying the warm climate, friendly people and amazing diversity of the Andalucia region.
Starting my own companies was possible due to the investment principles I had learned over two decades ago. Those same principles are available to anyone, and are what I teach in this new book.
I hope you enjoy Money for Something.
