I'm the guy who launched the Stack Exchange 1.0 version of this site, BasicallyMoney.com. I'm thrilled it's continuing in the Stack Exchange 2.0 network!

I'm an independent software developer/architect. I've spent the last seven years developing retirement planning tools for employees of some large companies, and I've acquired much knowledge about U.S. and Canadian investment vehicles, income taxation, etc. I'm interested in sharing that knowledge and learning more!
