I'm a highly motivated finance professional with a strong foundation in futures trading, digital asset management, and global macro concepts. Having immersed myself in the crypto space since 2017, I have acquired a thorough education in the industry and built on that with relevant experience. Currently I work as a derivatives trader and utilize various TA/FA concepts, in addition to the global macro outlook. I also manage a diverse portfolio of digital assets while keeping up-to-date with crypto/blockchain space. Previously, I worked in the oil & gas industry, which enabled me to grasp a solid understanding of global commodities and asset management. I'm currently available for opportunities in the crypto/digital assets space. I believe my strong work ethic, analytical skills, and ability to excel under pressure enable me to complete proficient work and add exceptional value to any organization.

I'm an options expert with 28 years of experience as a professional option market maker (floor trader), portfolio manager and options strategist. I have managed $1 billion in overlay strategies, having generated 750 million dollars in options cash flow for investors: covered call, black swan portfolio put protection strategies - managed 9 equity/options-based ETFs. One of my ETFs won a Lipper Award. I hold the Chartered Investment Manager designation (CIM). I'm a regular guest on business television: TD Ameritrade, BNN Bloomberg, Nasdaq TradeTalks, Rob Snow Show. I have been featured in over 75 articles on varied topics for Morningstar, Bloomberg, Investment Advisor, Montreal Exchange, OptionStrat and many more. I have written articles for prominent newspapers, magazines, and options exchanges. I have lectured on options trading at Cornell and McGill University and have been an All-Star of Options Trading for the Moneyshow and Montreal Options Exchange. I have been a featured lecturer on volatility for the CFA Society. But don't let all that throw you off - I love to teach options at every level! I have led a team of options traders and have mentored a number of beginning traders from the perspective of a floor options market maker, the only way to learn options properly. We can talk about getting you started on some of the most popular strategies out there today: cash secured puts, covered calls, iron condors and more. I will show you a system I designed for managing these kinds of trades - something I developed over the last 10 years of managing almost $1 billion in these exact strategies - having raised $750 million in cash flow for investors worldwide. I'm working with RIAs and wealth managers to implement options overlay strategies for their practices. If you're not offering clients options approaches you're missing out on a sophisticated way to pitch them on income and hedging strategies that can also lower volatility in portfolios. I have a number of projects on the go, so reach out to see if we have the bandwidth for your project. Regardless, I'm happy to discuss your needs and provide you with some insight into where you could benefit. gammacapitaladvisors.com crushthepremium.com gamma-capital-coaching.thinkific.com/ DISCLAIMER MUST READ: DISCLAIMER: FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY; NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE.
