He is a frequent guest on CNBC, and is regularly quoted in  The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

His career includes tenures at Capital  Investment International, a New York-based research boutique, where he  was Co-Chairman; Lehman Brothers, where he was Chief Economist and  Director of Economic Research; and E.F.
