Bio

I'm the Vice Chairman of VettaFi which includes the legacy ETF Trends and ETF Database platforms. I'm also the CEO of Global Trends Investments, a full service money management firm. With more than 25 years experience in asset management, I began my career with Fidelity Investments Institutional Division prior to launching Global Trends Investments and ETF Trends. In 2004, I founded ETF Trends, a website with daily news and analysis about the fast-changing market movements. Under my leadership, ETF Trends now produces more than 125 educational webcasts each year that focus on a wide variety of ETF investing topics. In addition, I moderate the annual ETF Trends Virtual Summits, that are attended by thousands of advisors each year. ETF Trends merged with ETF Database on February 2019 to become the largest ETF-centric, data driven platform built to empower and educate the modern financial advisor. ETFtrends.com and ETFdb.com both remain as stand-alone independent digital properties post-merger, but will collaborate on all digital initiatives, which includes native content channels, webcasts, video, data and social media. The merger joined the two global leaders in virtual ETF education who together reach 5 million impressions on ETFtrends.com and ETFdb.com each month. Through ETF webcasts and virtual investment conferences, the two companies reach more than 100,000 financial advisors each year who represent $3.5 trillion in assets. As an author, writer, and media contributor, I am a committed speaker at major industry conferences and can be seen on financial news media outlets, such as CNBC, Fox Business News, Yahoo Finance, and more. Lastly, I am a public corporate board and fund board director, and committed to non-profit involvement as a board leader.
