I am professional investor who has earned $1 million so far solely through strategic investing. A trained accountant, I graduated from John Carroll University in Ohio and spent a decade teaching. A lifelong entrepreneur as well, I set out to understand and codify a simple dividend investing strategy for life, an idea that eventually led to the creation of The Dividend Machine. He wrote it all down in his book, “Consume, Consume, and Consume More,” about how to pick the kinds of dividend stocks Warren Buffett or the late Sir John Templeton would recommend, long-term cash generators with handsome appreciation as well. His dividend picks now generate all of his family’s living expenses and more, and they keep on growing! He consults with a worldwide base of clients on investing and tax planning from his home in Ohio and presently writes a newsletter for newsmax.com
