Chris Clearfield

Chris Clearfield is a science geek and a reformed derivatives trader who became more interested in writing about risk than taking it. He's the coauthor of Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About It with his friend and longtime collaborator András Tilcsik. Chris lives in Seattle, Washington with his family. When he's not writing or working on short author biographies, Chris, a certified flight instructor, can be found at the airport teaching people how to fly.
