Author Bio Rhian Hunt grew up in a crowded Connecticut suburb before moving to Wisconsin, where he enjoys being an outdoorsman, relishing the struggle against mountainous snowfalls during the eternal-seeming winters and aerial armadas of mosquitoes over the summer. Rhian studied Business Economics and Microeconomics at the University of Wisconsin. A lifelong interest in writing led to first professional freelancing, then becoming a Motley Fool author.
