About White Brook Capital
I founded White Brook Capital in 2016 and manage its investment portfolios. We work with accredited investors who want to understand what they own and how those businesses earn their money.
Our exclusions come first. Within those limits, we offer diversified U.S. equity exposure and actively managed portfolios. The right choice depends on what you want from your investments and the risks you are willing to take.

Why these exclusions matter to us
We believe an investment should meet our ethical criteria when we make it. A charitable donation later does not change how a return was earned.
That means passing on some profitable businesses. It also means doing the work to understand less obvious exposures, including the products and services a company supplies to defense customers.
The exclusions can cost us returns. We accept that, and we want prospective clients to understand it before investing.
My background
Before founding White Brook, I was a Senior Analyst at MSF Capital, a value-oriented hedge fund. Earlier in my career, I covered media and telecom at BBT Capital Management.
I started in investment banking at JPMorgan, in the Technology, Media, and Telecom group. I hold an MBA from Kellogg and an A.B. in Political Science from the University of Chicago.
I live in Chicago with my wife, son, and daughter.
