Bio
I have enjoyed serious reading and writing most of my life. Beginning in high school, I studied journalism, which I continued in college, while serving as sports columnist of the college newspaper and sports editor of the alumni news magazine.I also wrote general news stringers for daily newspapers, in the news-rich Washington, D.C. environs. My education was augmented by what seem like endless but valuable sessions with my father, a journalist and publisher who wrote press releases, speeches, scripts, and articles. After editing a daily newspaper and the investment newsletter that became the weekly Standard & Poor's Outlook, I got jobs researching and writing investment reports for Wall Street firms.
In the 1990s, I operated Howard Bonham Research, an independent research firm in Houston, Texas. That opportunity arose because scandals of corrupt research on Wall Street had created a demand for independent opinions.
I live in Maryland, a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay. The eastern shore is one of my favorite places and I go there as often as possible.
