The Marin Post

I spent a long career within technical areas of finance. Over a few decades, I acquired a background in economics, econometrics, investments, risk management, statistics, and other quantitative methods.

Now, I am an independent researcher. I am truly independent. I am not paid by anyone. I work only on what interests me and where I feel on occasion my research may be of assistance.

Farewell Marin Post… Hello “Analytical News Without Noise”

Like many of you, I was saddened to hear that The Marin Post is shutting down. It was a rare space for thoughtful, independent local and statewide reporting—and a place I was proud to contribute to.

The good news? I’m still writing. I write now at Medium , where I continue to provide in-depth, data-driven analysis on topics ranging from demographics to economics and political statistics at the local, national, and global levels.

No paywall. No ads. No agenda. Just clarity.

I don’t get paid for my writing. I’m not a Medium member. I write because I care—and I share my work for free with readers like you through curated email lists. You’ll get full-access “friends” links directly to each piece, no subscription required.

• California – News and analysis relevant to our state, especially during election cycles.
