An investment officer at a major financial firm by day, Bruce F. Rosen is a writer by night. An award winning writer as early on as in high school, Rosen has written professionally for over three decades and has been featured in such publications as The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner, and Asian Week where he was a reporter. In addition to a stint as a journalist in Chinatown, he has crafted essays on sports, politics, economics, and music. The piece that he wrote on his boyhood idol, Sandy Koufax, appeared in the Baseball Hall of Fame. And, his series of 'slice of life' pieces titled "Diary of a Creative Banker", including one that focused on Princess Diana, aired on the BBC. Featured on the cover of the international publication Personal Excellence, Bruce shares this honor with such great company as Deepak Chopra and Nelson Mandela. He is also slated to do an event at Hue-Man Bookstore in New York which has hosted the likes of Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison and former President Bill Clinton. Interviews include Unlimited Realities, Healthylife.net's Healing Heart and Home and Strategies for Living plus the nationally syndicated The Block with Tim. And, a review by a founding member of the National Book Critic's Circle compares Rosen's work to that of Tolstoy. Rosen blends the unique characteristic of being able to grasp the complexity of economics with a graceful narrative writing style. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy from U.C. Santa Barbara and an M.A. in International Relations from San Francisco State University. His memoir, IF YOU EVER NEED ME, I WON'T BE FAR AWAY, is dedicated to his mom, Alma Lorraine Rush. The father of two sons, he lives and works in San Francisco. - www.almarosepublishing.com.
