I am a computer programmer with a scientific background. I love to take cruises and see the world, I have seen most of it from a ship and the only remaining areas are the orient and India. I plan to build my trading skills and portfolio to enable me to trade from a ship as I continue to explore our world.
Rex Johnson
I've been involved in the financial markets in one way or another since the 1980's. It's always been a great challenge. Now I have the pleasure of helping new traders learn solid and safe trading practices. When I'm not trading or helping new traders what do I do? I have helped out a lot with my grandson's Boy Scout Troop and volunteered as a math tutor for kids that struggle.

Jeremey Hustman
Systems Programmer Ⅲ
I starting copying computer programs out of books at a very young age and had a habit of taking everything apart to see how it works. I did some time in the United States Navy as a Cryptologic Technician (Maintenance). Now I professionally administer Oracle Database and Solaris operating system. I hold a General Amateur Radio license, enjoy tinkering with electronics, mixing electronic music, and just recently found a new hobby in trading. I like figuring out how things work and putting puzzles together, the Forex market is the hardest puzzle I have come across and has me hooked. I would love to be able to supplement my income trading the markets.
