CEO & Head Trader at 2nd Skies.
I founded 2nd Skies Trading in 2007 to help traders build a profitable edge — sharing my institutional experience, skills, and insight with the people who want to learn how markets actually work.
My goal here is simple: teach you the skills for trading stocks and options profitably.
I’ve been trading for 26+ years on the buy side and the sell side, institutionally. Whether you want to day trade or swing trade on any timeframe, we’ll teach you the skills. Come join the traders that have become profitable with us.

Two ways to make money.
There are two ways to make money. You making money, and money making money. You can only make so much from your work alone — but when your money starts making money, that’s when you can multiply it quicker.
If you’d like to learn how to do that, come join the courses and learn how I make money trading.
