Tom Konrad is a financial analyst, portfolio manager, and freelance writer specializing in renewable energy and energy efficiency investing. He manages green stock market portfolios, and promotes clean energy by testifying before legislators and regulators on energy policy.  He is Editor at AltEnergyStocks.com, which provides information to investors in publicly traded clean energy companies.  Two of his articles will be appearing in the anthology Fleeing Vesuvius: Overcoming the Risks of Economic and Environmental Collapse.

Tom is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA^®) charterholder, and has a Ph.D. in mathematics from Purdue University. He wrote his thesis on Complex Dynamics, a branch of chaos theory.  His study of chaos theory led to his conviction that knowing the limits of our ability to predict is much more important than predictions themselves, a lesson he applies to both climate science and the financial markets.

Tom lives in upstate New York. His interests are running (he has completed two marathons in under 4 hours), hiking, gardening, and woodworking. Follow him on Twitter@AltEnergyStocks
