As a career change, wanting to add purpose to my life...and looking for one more entrepreneurial adventure I opened Senior Helpers of Chicago. Senior Helpers is everything that the name implies. We provide companion care and personal care for Seniors who need some assistance. We enable Seniors to stay in their own homes, living better and more fulfilled lives. That may require 24/7 personal care, or as little as a one day a week, four hour assisted visit to the hairdresser, grocery store, or a concert!We are experts in Dementia Care.Senior Helpers really can make life better for our clients!

Chicago And London

I created TradeGroup, a subsidiary of Tradelink, LLC, and built out the infrastructure of two independent trading offices from scratch. I recruited, trained, mentored, and managed people to become online financial futures traders operating out of TradeGroup's Chicago and London offices. The job entailed many skills including being a teacher which I loved, and being a risk manager. Our traders had the opportunity to become quite wealthy (80% of the profits went to the firm), and the unfortunate opportunity to lose large amounts of Tradelink's and my own money. The job required constant attention and huge amounts of travel. I loved the work.

Chicago, New York, And London

I recruited, trained, mentored and managed people to become online financial futures traders operating out of Goldenberg's Chicago, London and NY offices. The job entailed many skills including being a teacher which I loved, and being a risk manager. Our traders had the opportunity to become quite wealthy (80% of the profits went to the firm), and the unfortunate opportunity to lose large amounts of the company's money. The job required constant attention, huge amounts of travel. I loved the work.

Chicago, Illinois, United States

Wishnick Asset Management created Riposte Capital Partners, LLC, a hedge fund. Christopher Geczy (now a Professor of Finance at Wharton) and I researched and then crafted a Long-Short, Longer Term Stat Arb. We managed many millions of dollars, but in what was a challenging environment for our particular strategy we closed the fund in 2000. We continually made money for our partners, but our returns were only in the 5% range in a time when the stock market was spinning off 20% returns. So, in 2000 we closed the doors.

I traded 10 Year US Note Futures and 30 Year US Bond Futures in the pit and from my office for my own account. It was a long career in a mentally and physically challenging game. BTW, I describe myself as a B+ trader.

I sold my photographs in galleries, art shows, etc. I was and am a B+ photographer, which IMO was not good enough to have a one-man show at MOMA by the age of 35. Since I was making a starving and really enjoy money, I decided to change careers.
