Bruce Vanderveen is a financial author and real estate investor based in the Tampa, Florida area. Bruce has been in the markets some 30 years and presents a fresh, sometimes humorous, approach in his writing.

I have degrees from Calvin College and the University of South Dakota. In addition to the markets am taking a course in copy writing (AWAI).

My wife and I spend their summers along the Lake Michigan shore where we manage resort properties. The website is www.dunecottages.com.

I enjoy volleyball, hiking, and bicycling and have a health blog, see some advice on how to take care of yourself at www.yellowsage.blogspot.com

Bruce is an advocate for the environment and enjoys photography, especially photographing North American native plants. You can see some of his photographs at www.flickr.com/photos/duneaster/
