I was born in Westchester, NY and moved to Charleston, SC in 1991. From there I graduated for the University of SC and was part of the great "Lou Holtz" era...Go Gamecocks!!! Now I have been living in Charlotte, NC for the last four years and love it. Before working for TradeKing I worked in the Mortgage industry as well as taught tennis for several years. I also play in two wind bands, The Charlotte Community Band and the Winthrop-Carolinas Wind Ensemble. If you've ever seen the movie 40 Year Old Virgin, I play that instrument, but I never march around in my living room playing Sousa. It's ok to laugh.
