David Gardner Biography

David Gardner, co-founder of "The Motley Fool" with his brother, Tom, is one of the country's most respected and trusted sources on the stock market and investing.

As an innovator, stock picker, author, lecturer and media personality, Gardner wears many different hats; he currently holds the position of "Chief Rule Breaker" at The Fool. With Tom, Gardner led "The Motley Fool"'s growth from a single print newsletter in 1993 to a worldwide investment and financial advisory services company that educates, amuses and enriches more than 30 million people each month. In that time, "The Motley Fool" has helped people achieve financial independence across a wide variety of online and offline media channels, including its award-winning Fool.com website, best-selling books and nationally syndicated weekly newspaper column.

He has received the University's prestigious "Distinguished Young Alumni Award." Since 1999, Gardner has been a member of the NYSE's Individual Investors Advisory Committee. Since 2004, Gardner has served on the Board of Governors of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. Among his many accomplishments at "The Motley Fool", Gardner is perhaps most proud of his creation of Motley Fool CAPS and the online newsletter Supernova. He is also the lead advisor on "The Motley Fool Rule Breakers" advisory service and co-lead on "The Motley Fool Stock Advisor."
