What I do

Professional​

My professional occupation focuses on research into U.S. state and local government finances, demographics and the U.S. economy. In my view, the financial condition of most U.S. state and local governments is underrated.

Philosophical

Written journalism is the medium through which I absorb most news about the world. Television is mere entertainment. My favorite non-fiction authors are Eric Hoffer, Francis Fukuyama, Philip Rieff, and Christoper Lasch.

Personal

My hobbies involve reading, physical exercise including weight lifting, walking, swimming and hiking, and the practice of transcendental meditation. Next to my family, music is my chief pleasure. I own more than 2,000 albums on vinyl or CD.
