About Financial Sentiments
Financial Sentiments (formerly NerdEcon) is a blog about financial planning, investment management, and life. I’ve always enjoyed writing but I was inspired to start blogging again by two events. The first was getting over my concern that I had nothing new to say. Over the past year I’ve noticed few people ever say anything new. At best we modernize classics. At worst we pour perfume on old and rotten ideas. The second was learning there were many financial planning and investment management principles that I had taken for granted. I hope to revisit these principles someday and provide some entertaining explanations.
Hopefully if you’ve stuck around this long you have frantically entered your email address into the subscription bar below. If you like finance, economics, sci-fi, and Monday morning quarterbacking, this might be the site for you. Come for the information but stick around for the Star Wars references.

“I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.” – Jango Fett
I never got the memo that at some age you’re supposed to stop asking, “Why?” I’ve always wanted to know “why is the world the way it is” and “how did it get here.” I doubt I’ll get a complete answer, but the journey has been fun so far. In the meantime, I’m incredibly fortunate to be able to explore these ideas within the field of financial planning and investment management. It’s rare to have a profession where you can fulfill your passion for knowledge and help people.
Some of my favorite topics are my family, economics, history, hunting, dinosaurs, and sci-fi. I graduated from Gonzaga University in 2017. During the day I work at HFG Trust to acquire other financial advisory firms and help clients achieve their goals (retirement or otherwise).
You can tell I don’t fly fish by how poorly the trout is positioned in the photo.
In Memoriam: Lexor Adams
Lexor is still here. He just doesn’t write anymore and we aren’t sure what he does with his time. But we’re thankful for all the contributions he made to NerdEcon including somehow getting us to write a Harvard Business School case about Santa’s toy factory. Give the poor folks at Harvard your money if you want to read it sometime.
