Financial Tip:
In the words of John C. Bogle, when investing: “Don’t look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack!”
Fun Facts:
- My wife and I are diehard Iowa State University fans. We were married in the ISU Memorial Union, and Cy was at our wedding reception.
- I was a Boy Scout in elementary school. As a Boy Scout, I placed second in the pinewood derby car race (1994). I still proudly have the trophy and car today.
- I worked as a carpenter’s apprentice while in high school. As a result, I am constantly working on DIY projects around my home.
