I am an avid investor with a major focus on small cap companies with experience in investing in US, Canadian, and European markets.

This methodology doesn't limit an investor into rigid traditional value, dividend, or growth investing, but rather accounts for all of a stock's prospects to determine the risk-to-reward.
