“Veritas quaeritur, non possidetur.” — Truth is sought, not possessed.

I am a tenured Professor at York University in Toronto, and CIT Chair in Financial Services at the Schulich School of Business. My day job is teaching basic financial literacy & strategies, and I have spent most of my life in academia. But, I also have ample consulting experience in the “real world” where I have delivered over 2,000 seminars & lectures during the last 30 years. My research interests are eclectic, ranging from actuarial modelling of life, excavating Babylonian pensions, and pricing longevity-contingent claims in the seventeenth century. I’m currently working on a “chronology” project related to the intellectual history of the late Renaissance period. On this website are links to some of my published books and research articles, and a blog I update from time-to-time.
