Who Am I?
Three people at your dream dinner would be:
Leonardo da Vinci, Nelson Mandela, and John Candy
Very few people know I:

If I’ve learned one thing it is:
Life can change in a minute
Favorite time of day:
When I come home at night and see my baby
First job:
I was a trade checked on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade. I became a legend when I snuck an entire pizza on to the trading floor.
Proudest moment in business:
