Author: Aaron Chow

Aaron is a sophomore majoring in Economics with a minor in Material Science. Before he helped found BRB, he worked at a hedge fund where he focused on identifying companies committing financial and accounting fraud. His independent research on non-exchange traded REITs got him featured in the Wall Street Journal and Fox Business News. If you have a short thesis or an article you'd like to pitch, you can either find him at GBC stocking up for the coming winter or in Doe...hibernating (we’re pretty sure he is a bear).
