A few decades ago John took a Summer job in the grain room at the Chicago Board of Trade. He was to start a career as a teacher and coach but was drawn by the excitement of the trading pits and the competitive environment the exchanges had to offer. He stayed. He worked his way up the ladder to become a successful broker, analyst and educator.
