About me
Why do I do what I do?
The short answer is: because I have a passion for the Asset Management field, for the wellness of the organisations engaged in Asset Management, and the people toiling to make them successful.

Keeping the discipline pure
The direct meaning of my first name "Jasper" is "treasure keeper". Now, this has had a profound influence on my life in that I am protective of any type of "treasure". In particular then, I am protective of assets, and also specifically of the theories surrounding assets.
Unfortunately, the Asset Management field is full of poor theory, and poor terminology.
