Learn to Write

In “No Surrender” Bruce Springsteen sings, “We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school.” I went to school. I have a degree in Economics from Duquesne University. Any writing assignment that was required of me to write and submit, I did. But I didn’t learn to write in college.

I learned to write after college. A healthy dose of unemployment provided me the tools to “train my brain” to think the way a writer must think. Once I did that, and obtained objectivity in my thinking, I was able to write in a variety of formats, with merit, find employment (then a business), travel extensively and lead the life of a person with a creative soul.

I teach a unique writing class. What makes my class unique is that it focuses on the cathartic and ancillary benefits of writing. I’ve taken advantage of those benefits in numerous ways. A list of those benefits can be found in my book, How To Be Old. All for-profit, non-profit and government entities should be offering writing programs for their executives and employees—regardless of their position in the organization and/or their age.

Use my contact information or LinkedIn to find me so we can discuss how writing programs can benefit you and your workforce.

Why study value?
Because value—like science—matters more than your opinion!
After college, I worked for a real estate developer who owned a bank.  I did everything there is to do in the real estate and banking industries—except clean the office.  The job gave me the ability to find “value”.  To date, I’ve used my research skills to find value in land, buildings, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, employees, business ideas, the fitness and nutrition industries, “wellness” programs, the business of education and other areas of interest.  I am an investment advisor and a teacher of Financial and Health Literacy.  In addition, I teach a unique writing class.  The class is unique because it focuses on the cathartic and ancillary benefits of writing.  This blog provides objective, educational (and sometimes entertaining) insights I’ve acquired during the journey.
