Prior to becoming an attorney, I have benefited from over fifteen years of experience and accomplishment in the financial services, securities and commodities business. Career began as a trader of food products. With rapid advancement, established and managed my own brokerage firm representing a major Japanese trading cartel. Have traded metals, currencies and interest rate sensitive instruments in the cash and futures markets. Commodity futures experience encompasses working as a clerk on the exchange floor to tenure as a Partner at E.F. Hutton, where I developed and managed a large institutional customer base. Recent experience includes tenure as Director of Commodity Services for a London Metals Exchange member firm and as Senior Vice President of the precious metals division of a commercial bank. All aspects of my experience have been distinguished by substantial profitability, entrepreneurship, resourcefulness and creativity.
