Hi! My name is Allen; I'm an MBA graduate and an avid hobbyist investor. I started investing when I turned 18 and have been investing for over 10 years. One small idea of turning a few hundred dollars in my checking account into something more spurred a decade of continuous learning and growth. I share my research here on Seeking Alpha as I dive into various companies, both small and large, with deep value and high growth. I consider myself a quality investor, looking to identify companies with endurable competitive advantages which I then dollar cost average into over time. Some of my favorite investors of all time include Warren Buffet, Chuck Akre, Terry Smith, Mark Leonard, and Chris Mayer. In my free time, you will likely find me playing sand volleyball, boating, or golfing.
