About the Owner
James Bell currently works and lives in Portland Oregon and owns Stumptown Finance. Don’t get too excited, it’s just a website, twitter page, and Facebook page for now. He built, runs and maintains the website and content. His hope is that you find something in here that sparks your interest in learning more and brings you joy. 
After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Portland State University, the exploration path into a professional career began. A history of marketing, healthcare, and technology shape a robust business acumen that James continues to polish. His enjoyment of research, learning and exploring can be read in every article.
James received an MBA with a concentration in Finance at the University of Portland. As a requirement for graduating, it was an incredible experience to travel to South America to learn about business, politics, culture at the Universidad Mayor in Santiago, Chile. Travelling half way around the world is an incredible eye opening experience.
In his spare time, he enjoys learning SQL and Python. He also likes to rebuild older Japanese motorcycles and improving his home in SE Portland along with spending time with family that includes a wife, healthy baby boy, and 2 dogs.
