Dr. Jesse Carlucci is the Chief Investment Officer of the financial planning and investment firm Arrow Investment Management, a CFP® professional, and former university professor. Financial planning is his passion, and he likes to push his readers to the edge of their comfort zone when evaluating their financial decisions. He spent eight years as a college professor in Texas prior to starting Arrow Investment Management. He is fond of weaving stories into everyday life decisions, including whether it is a good idea to invest in meme stocks, overpay for fancy coffee, or purchase a new car. You can find him on Twitter (@CarlucciPh) and his blog "Arrow Investment Education" where he tells other people what to do with their money. He is also the author of numerous professional journal papers in the natural sciences, and has technical background in geoscience, finance, and statistics. He lives in Oklahoma with his wife, where they enjoy hiking in the mountains as therapy to cope with the endless barrage of e-mails and meeting invites.
