About
\r\nLife
\r\nHi, my name is Ryan Asher and I am originally from Tivoli, NY. I built this site to channel all my crazy thoughts into various excel, coding, and finance projects. A little about me...
\r\nI left New York when I was around 19 to see the world. Traveling is at the heart of who I am. From the age of 19 to 25 I lived and spent time in 6 continents and 23 countries. The experiences I had, and people I met along the way have shaped me into the man I am today. My passion for learning and desire to see and understand more was born from my first and favorite place - Rome, Italy. Each new destination fueled that desire and set me down the path of a lifelong learner. I would have no career in Investment/Finance today if it were not for the experience I gained working for a hedge fund in Queensland, Australia. While I can not travel the same way I did then, everything I do today is building towards a time when I can again.
\r\nSometime close to 25 I realized that being a vagabond was not an actual career path, so I came back to the US to go to College. I later graduated from the College of Charleston in 2018 with a B.S. in Business Administration with a dual concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship. Currently, I live in Charleston, South Carolina where I am a full time equities trader.
