Steven
began investing in stocks at the age of 13 with the purchase
of a utility stock featuring a ridiculously high
dividend (see Doyle Article). A
Texan by birth, his global meanderings include over 3
years in Tokyo, as well as significant time spent in
Hong Kong, Thailand, India, and various locations in
Europe and elsewhere. Other sojourns include
a wander through the alleyways of Byzantium in Istanbul,
as well as multiple motorcycle journeys, including an 8,000 mile solo
trip through the US, an excursion across Australia, and most
recently a 6,000 mile loop through Canada.

His
first real influence in investing was his father, a pilot
by profession and still one of the shrewdest investors he has ever known. Steven's
mentor in investment analysis was a legendary investor
and fellow motorcyclist from Demopolis, Alabama who formerly
co-managed (with a man later accused of breaking the
Bank of England) one of the largest and most successful
hedge funds of all time (Articles).
His
interests include motorcycles, travel, art, literature, music, snowboarding, and flying.
