Favorite Sports Moment

Lot of good ones involving people but best ever was watching Secretariat run at Arlington Park. You just knew you may never see anything like that ever again.

One Thing Listeners Might Not Know About You

You listen, you know me, but I doubt if too many know my favorite sport to play was actually 4 wall handball. Great game, I was probably a high “B”.

One Trade You’d Like to Have Back

Too many to list regarding markets, but way back I had a backer who only wanted one guy on a badge. Instead of finding a new backer I traded DRJ to another trader who would put him on a badge. Bad trade, and I knew it.
