Ever feel happy going to work?

We had our Christmas party over the past weekend. It was amazing - ice sculptures of currency pairs, fabulous surroundings at the country club, and good times all around.

This is one of the few times in my life where I love getting up to go to work (even when I go in at like 5 am). I am in a place where I enjoy what I'm doing, I get along with my coworkers, and I generally feel good about my life as it stands. There are still some loose ends to tie up (namely settling some things with one person in particular in South Florida), but there isn't a moment where I get up in the morning anymore and say "I really don't want to go to work."

Things are constantly improving, and that's more than I could say 8 months ago.

About Me

I'll work on making this a more creative "About Me", but for now, this placeholder will do (and I'll even speak about myself in the third person so it sounds more pretentious).

----------------------

The author of this webpage was born in Pittsburgh, PA. Living in Valencia, PA (aka, the sticks), he led one of those idyllic childhoods that would make most people ill unless it were the introduction to a fictional novel.

His family moved to the Orlando, FL area when he was 12. After about 2 years there, they uprooted and moved to Naples, FL. He lived in Pelican Bay in Naples for 3 years, then the family decided to move back to the Orlando area again. After 4 years at Lake Brantley, it was off to UF for a year, then a transfer to FSU (which in retrospect was a bad idea, but he didn't know that at the time). Looking at engineering and sciences as majors, he eventually settled on degrees in economics and computer science.

He now works for a brokerage firm in Lake Mary, FL (outside of Orlando) and enjoys making sure the firm has SERIOUS clients. As a broker and market analyst, he keeps tabs on all the major currency markets.
