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.

Clerk / Trader

1992 - 1996
As a clerk, I was integral in the risk management and hedging for several large traders. I became head clerk, and trained other clerks in the use of hand signals. 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. I was a fairly large local, sometimes holding 500M in futures overnight. As a clerk, I was integral in the risk management and hedging for several large traders.
