About Me

Hello, I’m Eric Wagner. I’ve always been driven by two deep-seated passions: a love for learning and a desire to explore the world. My journey has taken me from sports writing to machine learning algorithms, and through it all, I've learned one crucial lesson: we are surrounded by information, but the real challenge is finding the signal in the noise.

My path wasn't linear. It started with a fascination for sports, which led me to write for sites like Football Nation and FantasyPros. This sparked a deeper curiosity about fitness, prompting me to pursue a B.S. in Kinesiology and earn certifications as a personal trainer and health coach.

However, understanding the physical body was only part of the equation; I wanted to understand the mind behind the scenes. That curiosity led me to explore psychology, behavioral finance, and moral philosophy, where I discovered effective altruism. Across all these fields, I noticed a trend: my interests were always grounded in research. This realization led me to pursue an M.S. in Statistics, as statistics is the language of research, and it provided me with the framework to connect all of my interests.

This website is where those dots connect. I created it to translate complex topics into clear, practical strategies. Whether you're trying to start a workout routine or build an investment portfolio, my goal is to provide you with a clear roadmap and useful resources.
