After graduating, Rick taught at Johns Hopkins, did business. consulting, worked for Scudder Investments, and then, 21 years ago, started Sensible Financial Planning, his financial planning firm. Over time, Rick has become a thought leader in the advice field. He's quoted routinely in leading media and writes for Forbes.
Sensible is located in Waltham, Mass. Its hallmark is economics-based financial planning. Rick's firm runs MaxiFi Planner, my company's software, for all his clients.

Rick serves on MaxiFi's Advisory Board. He's been an enormous help guiding the program's development.
"Sensible" says it all when it comes to Rick. He exudes common sense, informed by a deep knowledge of economics and finance. Please check out this podcast. It's chock full of Rick's experience and wisdom.
