James Vermillion

I like finance and I love bourbon! As I teenager I became fascinated with investing. I’m not sure what ignited this intrigue, but it was one of the best things to ever happen to me. I read every investing book I could get my hands on and when I came home from school, I rushed to see what happened in the financial markets. Years later, this fascination continues. After working in the industry for several years I started my own firm, Vermillion Private Wealth, in 2020. With Bulls, Bears, and Bourbon I hope to make talking about investing fun by adding delicious bourbon, great guests, and lively conversation.
