About Me

I began trading options for my own account in 1975 and two years later became an options professional as a market maker on the trading floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

For the past eight years, I have been teaching individual investors how to adopt risk-reducing, profit-enhancing option strategies.

I have published three books and numerous magazine articles .

Born in Brooklyn, NY, I currently reside in Evanston, IL with my life partner, Penny.  I earned a B.S. degree from Brooklyn College and a PhD from Northwestern University.
