Hi TFR Readers,
I am happy to share with you that I was interviewed by Mr. 1500 at 1500days.com. Hope you enjoy reading my answers to his famous ‘ten questions’ and getting to know me a bit more.
For those who don’t know Mr. And Mrs. 1500, they are a young FIREd family (Mr. 1500 – aka Carl – is a bit younger than me but close) enjoying their early retirement with their two young kids relatively quietly in Colorado…that is, until a Yahoo article shot them to fame. They have become, in short order, an amazing inspiration to many seekers of financial independence and early retirement.
You are welcome to post your comments or questions on my interview either there or here and I will respond as best as I can.
Enjoy!

In addition to having a Ph.D. in engineering, he has worked in almost all continents of the world. Ten Factorial Rocks (TFR) was created to chronicle his journey towards retirement while sharing his views on the absurdities and pitfalls along the way. The name was taken from the mathematical function 10! (ten factorial) which is equal to 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 3,628,800.
