About

I'm an independent researcher and writer with more than a decade of investment experience and a lifelong obsession with history.

Rockwood Research

Rockwood Research is my public research journal on investment ideas, case studies, long-form business histories, profiles, deep dives.

The Pritzker Project

The Pritzker Project is the flagship research project. It's a serialized biography of one of America's most successful and least understood families. The Pritzkers went from a ghetto in Kyiv to becoming the fifth-wealthiest family in America. Their influence spans real estate, manufacturing, hospitality, shipping, finance, philanthropy, and politics.

History fades every day — especially corporate history, especially pre-1990. Documents are destroyed, people pass away, records disappear. Inspired by Robert Caro's "turn every page" approach, subscribers receive articles as I go through the research in real time.
