About Me

I am the Chicago bureau chief of Forbes. Since joining Forbes in 1998 I've worked in our bureaus in New York, Los Angeles and London, where I was also bureau chief. I've covered the filth and fury of capitalism, from the mad dreams of a robot-plane builder to the carve-up of the Pritzker billions to the plundering of the vast but diminishing wealth in the country's state pension funds. Along the way I've tried to be Forbes' strong voice on real estate investments. As a panelist on our Forbes on Fox television show on Fox News, I've tried to be a voice of reason.
