long time lurker

Hi everyone, I have gotten a lot out of WSO over the last few months and am looking to begin participating in the community more actively. I'm particularly interested in the Asset Management discussions, and have learned a lot already from this site about my place in the larger ecosystem.

I have a military background, and after getting out of the Navy I have worked in the mutual fund industry. I have worked my way up to a PM role at a small fixed income fund family. I'm in my 30s so I'm a little older than most and more than likely will do an EMBA starting this year.

Thanks for reading!
