WELCOME

Welcome to my home on the Internet. There are much better things to see on the web, but you are here anyways. On this page you'll find personal information, a resume, and how to contact me.

The bulk of my career has been as an electronic trader at a Wall St firm. Like most of my coworkers, I was not formally trained. Almost everything you really need to know is learned on the job. If you are interested in trading yourself here's how.

In my spare time I write code and play with my web sites. I have a small network at home where I run Linux on PC hardware. NYC is a great city to live in and on the weekend I spend my time walking around finding something new, and I eat out or order in just about every night. If you're looking for the best burger though, it's at the Shake Shack.

There's lots to do in my neighborhood; catch a play at P.S. 122, or get a beer at Zum Schneider, as real a beer garden you are going to find in the city. We even have our own radio station.

I also like to work on motorcycles. I keep a few in a motorcycle only garage in the East Village, and I have a workshop in Brooklyn where I restore old bikes. If you want to ride around New York City, I have a web site for that too.

I grew up just west of Boston Mass in the town of Sudbury. Its a nice town famous for having the 01776 zip code. However, from the age of 3 to 6 I lived on the island (atoll) of Kwajalein in the Marshal Islands.

I left home and went to the University of Massachusetts where I received my degree in Physics. I did a fair amount of skiing with Vermont so close. I also had great summers: one on Cape Cod as a Yacht machanic, and another running around Europe with a close friend.

I first started to write software while working for Lincoln Labs/M.I.T. This was my first real job out of school and the Lab was a great place to start. I worked on a project to detect hazardous weather for aircraft flying around terminal air space and allowed me to apply some of my physics as well as branch off into the computer science field. The system was quite advanced and some of my code is still being used!

After a few years working around Boston, I moved to NYC. I have lived on the Upper West Side, then Upper East, a brief stay in SoHo, big loft in Tribeca, then back to the Upper West. Finally I bought a home in the East Village . I've kept myself busy as a Unix Programmer at Wall Street companies for most of the time that I've been in the city. Somehow I found myself at a Prop trading group in Morgan Stanley where I have traded lots of flow over many markets...
