I’m Dan, and I’ve worked in various roles in Banking and Finance within the City of London for the last ten years.
I first discovered the world of investments in an unusual way – I was bored on the internet and entered a virtual stock picking competition. That started off an interest in understanding investments, exactly what companies do and how to make the best use of your hard earned money.
A natural love of things running efficiently coupled with the mindset of an economist (and no, I don’t mean cheap!) started to expand into moving beyond investments into how to generally manage your money effectively – and eventually into a passion for sharing what I know through this blog!
The Financial Wilderness has been featured in a number of publications including Daily Telegraph, The Mirror, and we’re always very happy to provide comment on personal finance issues and current events.
When not found writing out about how you can use your money effectively I enjoy good food, a good book, travelling into the real wilderness and going and discovering weird and wonderful events around London.
I hold the CISI Investment Advice Diploma, and have both professional and personal experience in working on a variety of financial products through my career.
