About Fox

Squawkfox is about making personal finance and frugal living sexy, delicious, and fun. It’s about how living simply, spending wisely, and investing intelligently impacts your health, wealth, and self. It’s about being honest, creative, and helpful.

The tips, tricks, and ideas you’ll find here are the direct result of a lifetime of learning about many financial money matters. If you make money, have debt, have a career, eat food, buy stuff, invest, or just need a laugh: this blog is for you!

As a freshly minted “magazine-style” personal finance blog, Squawkfox launched in December 2007 and has grown consistently. The articles here have been featured in MSN Money Smart Spending numerous times.

Who is Fox?

I am the author of this blog. I have a diverse educational background ranging from
journalism to computer science. I started my career in communications and after looking in the mirror and seeing a tortured geek, made the switch to code and algorithms. Today I write highly technical manuals for programmers.

I started this blog because I drove my friend nuts with all my insights into money. I basically needed a place to write it all down so I wouldn’t forget my tips, tricks, and financial fumbles. I write about personal finance because it is a passion of mine. I was raised in a frugal family and learned about managing money early in life. I’ve been in debt, clawed my way out of debt, hired financial advisors, fired financial advisors, saved six figures, and learned how to invest my savings myself. I believe no one cares about your money more than you, so it’s important to learn about money matters and be honest about where you stand financially.

I also love sports. I am a two-time Ironman Triathlon finisher. Most days I swim further than most people walk. Like getting out of debt or saving money, getting physically fit takes effort every single day. The qualities I have applied to my financial fitness are the same qualities I have applied to endurance sports. Becoming physically fit and financially fit are one and the same. Once I discovered this personal development path, I found my health, wealth, and self flourished.
