Where do I start with Daniel? His background knowledge in is field of expertise and all things technology and software is mind-boggling. I often collaborated with Daniel on a variety of special projects and witnessed how good he was at solving problems. No challenge or seemingly impossible process was insurmountable. He always came up with a solution. On the personal side, he was a great teacher and was always generous with his time and imparting of knowledge to me. He is ultimately a big reason why I have a newfound and keen interest in learning more about software and technology as a tool to get the job done.

Through my performance in that capacity, I earned a firm sponsored seat on the CBOT. As a trader, I was a market maker in the 30 Day Federal Funds pit at the CBOT.
