Introduction

WSO Community:


My name is Stephen and I truly appreciate the community that has been built here.  I look forward to learning from what you all have built, and some day contributing myself.

For the past nine years I have served as an Infantry and Military Intelligence officer within the U.S. Army.  Currently I'm stationed in Washington state.  I grew up in Denver, CO and I am looking to return there in the spring where I will pursue a career in IB.

I am 31 years old.  I do not have an MBA.  I do not have a background or undergraduate in finance.

I am confident, however, that with with this community I will be able to overcome my knowledge gaps and make up for lost time.


Thanks again and I look forward to being a part of WSO.

--Stephen
