The ideas of A Free Lunch must stand on their own, independent of the personality of their author. For that reason alone, and because I am somewhat reclusive, I am loathe to provide many private details. I am willing to reveal that I’m not an economist, but as chapter 3 of the book should make clear, this gives me a great advantage at properly understanding economics and market competition. Beyond that, for those who simply must know something about me, I direct you to the following link to a webpage for the one book I’ve managed to have published commercially – it includes a few words, albeit a little outdated, about me which now seem more detailed than I feel fully comfortable with.
