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. 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.
