James M. Dahle, MD, is a practicing emergency physician and veteran from Salt Lake City, UT. He became interested in personal finance and investing after becoming disillusioned with the way he was treated by several unscrupulous financial professionals. In an effort to help his fellow physicians and other high-income professionals avoid the same errors, he started The White Coat Investor website in 2011. It rapidly grew into the most widely-read, physician-specific personal finance and investing website in the world. He has written three Amazon best-selling books, publishes a weekly podcast, developed online courses, and holds an annual conference all aimed at helping his fellow physicians become more financially literate. He is convinced that increasing the financial security of doctors enables them to be better partners, parents, and doctors along with reducing burnout, decreasing suicide risk, and improving patient care. He has been featured in Forbes and CNN and is a regular columnist for ACEP Now. Dr. Dahle enjoys canyoneering, skiing, biking and spending time with his wife and four kids.
