About
My career on Wall Street started while I was in college. I spent a summer interning for Merrill Lynch in the middle of the ‘90s bull market.
I was fascinated with trading, and as a result, after college I joined Salomon Brothers in the famed mortgage bond trading department. Later, I spent time at Citigroup working with credit derivatives … and then a decade as the head trader at Peahi Capital, a New York-based hedge fund, where my team made a 339% total return in 2008 alone.
It was during these periods that I realized how much I enjoyed being part of a process that saw investors make tens of millions of dollars — sometimes on single trades.
I spent over two decades developing a process for successful trading systems. It’s why I got into the market myself, instead of simply reading about it.
My exclusive crypto-market insights have also been featured on Fox Business News, Investopedia, Zero Hedge and Seeking Alpha. I also developed the first crypto investing multimedia product of its kind for Investopedia Academy.
Eventually, I needed to walk away from the excesses of Wall Street, as I grew tired of making rich people richer. This lead me to venture investing, where I discovered cryptocurrencies, the perfect blending of early stage investing and trading.
In 2017, I joined Banyan Hill Publishing to help readers get ahead of the burgeoning crypto market.
Now I’m excited to bring that strategy to Banyan Hill Publishing as their crypto expert — letting readers in on the massive gains, because there’s much more upside ahead.

My Story
As odd as it might sound, my investing success stems from one busy summer day on the Jersey Shore.
That day, everything was moving along as it normally did. The beach was teeming with swimmers, while the surface of the ocean seemed calm.
However, from my perch atop the lifeguard stand, I started noticing an undercurrent brewing. And a group of children were swimming dangerously close.
So, after a few failed attempts to move them from danger via whistle, it was time to act. I quickly called for backup, launched myself off the tower and sprinted toward the water.
And I suddenly realized a normally stressful situation had become, well, almost routine.
