I founded JEI Investment Management in 2013 to implement a disciplined framework for investing my family’s wealth in a portfolio of stocks that trade at a discount to their fundamental value based on identifying companies facing end-market cyclical troughs combined with internal company “turn-around” catalysts. I created this framework based on my father’s investment methodology that he used effectively during his 40-year career at American Funds / Capital Group. I received a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Southern California and am a CFA Charterholder. In my personal time, I live in San Diego with my wife and 3 young kids, and I am an avid exerciser and college sports fan. I am also on the board of the Autism Society of America and the Autism Society of San Diego.
