Investment Coaching

for Humans.

Make clearer decisions when money is on the line.

Athletes review game film. Surgeons review their cases. Fighter pilots debrief every flight. Investors see their returns but rarely learn which decisions drove them.

I'm a behavioral finance PhD and decision neuroscience researcher. I review your trading history, find your patterns, and coach you to make better calls on the decisions that matter most.

DEDICATED INVESTOR SUPPORT

Investing requires 5 skills.

Master them with coaching
Every self-directed investor needs the same five skills: what to buy, how much to buy, whether to add when a position is down, when to sell a winner, and when to cut a loser. Most investors never train these as skills, they trade and hope with no feedback. We teach, measure based on your own data, and coach all five, with a structured, behavioral-finance based process and rich insights on your decisions.

THE SOLUTION

Evidence-Based Coaching +

Behavioral Support
I deliver an individualized coaching framework that integrates decision neuroscience with behavioral financial technology. The goal isn’t to give “advice” but to empower with lasting decision processes that compound your skills.
Behavioral Analytics
Using Prof of Wall Street's proprietary algorithms I audit your trade data to quantify patterns: premature exits, loss chasing, overtrading, and weighting errors. These diagnostics are taught to you and embedded into a structured workflow that supports you at the moment it matters.
Decision Neuroscience
I identify how your physiology and stress levels shape your risk perception and conviction. You’ll learn how fear and arousal distort judgment before errors occur, and how to intervene in real time.
Holistic-yet-Tactical
I coach the whole you: what drives your decisions, mechanics of how you buy, size, add, and sell. Most programs work with no data or tactics with no context. I analyze data and mindset with a scientific process and rely on evidence from your own decisions.

Five Phases, In Order:

01
Portfolio & Behavioral Assessment
After a discovery call, we'll do a comprehensive analysis of your historical trading data establishes a baseline: behavioral strengths, performance opportunities, and specific paths for improvement. You’ll see clearly how your choices shape asset selection, position sizing, and active decisions and lead to performance patterns.
02
Debriefing & A
A one-on-one debrief translates your data into action: why these specific behaviors emerge and how they affect your outcomes, such as:
• Stock picking with no process
• Timing errors driven by emotion or volatility
• Weighting decisions with negative consequences
• Selling winning stocks too soon
• Investment Process Breakdown
03
Strong Foundation, Individualized Diagnostics
Professional managers operate within explicit mandates; as an individual investor, you usually don’t, and that leaves room for emotional inconsistency. We build a deep understanding of you as a decision-maker and develop your personal Investment Policy Statement (IPS): a written, pre-committed anchor that keeps you disciplined during market stress.
04
Portfolio & Skill Reviews
Ongoing sessions provide structured accountability. You assess recent decisions against your own stated rules, position by position. We evaluate consistency and quality under uncertainty, not just performance. Each session includes a review of recent decisions, identification of blind spots and emerging patterns, and tracked growth via the Investor Mastery Matrix (IMM™).
05
Ongoing support
Errors surface mid-decision, usually under stress or in a fast-moving market. Between sessions, you have direct access to flag a live decision before you act on it. As your Investor Mastery Matrix (IMM™) score improves, the program tapers from active coaching toward lighter-touch maintenance, support that scales down as your own processes strengthen.
FOR PORTFOLIO MANAGERS & WEALTH FIRMS

Portfolio Manager Development Program


Built for wealth management firms, family offices, and the managers who run their capital to get transparency and better results.

I rebuild each portfolio from raw trades to attribute performance and benchmark along with the mandate. You get a clear roadmap of where performance is being gained and where it’s being lost so that growth can improve over time.
‍

What I review

‍‍
Performance:
Returns against the benchmark, after costs and adjusted for risk.
‍
‍Cost: How much return goes to fees, trading, and idle cash.
‍
‍Decisions: Whether the manager’s buying, selling, and sizing add value, measured in dollars.
‍
‍Fit: How well the portfolio matches its mandate, its limits, and its clients.
‍
‍Process & technology: Whether the process is written down, followed in hard markets, and backed by the right tools and data.

HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT

Your biggest asset

is you.
Most people spend more time on social media than maintaining the asset that pays for everything: their own skills, judgment, health, and career. Human capital, the value of everything you’ll earn and build over the rest of your working life, is usually the largest asset a person owns. I help you manage and increase it with the same discipline you’d apply to a portfolio.

Meet Your
Investing Coach

I built the first half of my career as a finance professor, a hedge fund chief economist and a neuroeconomics researcher. I studied how people make financial decisions, and how to help them decide better.

The big finding by applying behavioral economics to the real world is that most mistakes are predictable, so they can be caught early. Now I coach people to do that, with a clear approach, behavioral analytics from Prof of Wall Street, and a real person in their corner.

I've worked with individual investors, hedge fund traders, portfolio managers, wealth managers and family offices. I help investors see their patterns clearly and build a process that improves how they decide.
