HISTORY: SpaceWeatherNews used to be called KAHB. This was a combination of the fist initials of Kat, Achilles, Hope, Ben – the human and dog pairs that went on tour in 2015 was the original team. Today, Kat and Ben have three children, Kira, Noah and Adam, and two days after thanksgiving Achilles began his next journey.
Perspective: Law school is an exercise in painstaking research into complex materials to find subtle and often confusing truths, and then combining and communicating your findings in a helpful way. I have worked professionally in the investment field, primarily in a due diligence capacity. I am now considered an independent researcher. Due diligence is an animal unlike any other – to fully understand a situation you need to understand the law, the numbers, and the science, while simultaneously making predictive analysis and judgments about often-conflicting data. My goal is to inform you, while giving you to tools to empower your own journey.
Eyes Open, No Fear
