I live in Carlsbad, California. In 2003 I founded Trade Ideas LLC with my Bellaire High classmate Philip Smolen. We are passionate about creating something exciting and different in the financial markets. Opportunities are everywhere, you just have to be open to seeing them.

Before I started Trade Ideas I was CEO of a company called FutreTrade Technologies which was Venture funded in the dot com bubble days... ah the Carrera...fun times :-). FutureTrade was acquired by Interactive Brokerage (IBKR) Nasdaq in 2007http://www.finextra.com/news/fullstory.aspx?newsitemid=17757

Lucky for me my wife has a penchant for my kind of crazy. We have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Chemoak and Presley, and three amazing kids, Adriana, Ian, and Amelia. I strive to be the best dad I can by watching what my wife does day in and day out! It melts my heart when I see my kids smile as they watch their dad do all sorts of silly things. Life is about style so you better start living it!

Here is some really good advice for anyone willing to take it in. Things are good. Even when they are bad, they are good!
