Jeff has either owned or been involved with several different types of small businesses over the past 30 years. These range from being a active partner in a timber contracting company to operating a small, mail order software business. Along the way he has owned a seat on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in a futile attempt to succeed as a floor trader and for a time was a partner in a money management company. He has traded stocks and futures for over 20 years and has an abiding interest in trading, markets, and politics.

Jeff has just begun a blog: RedSt8r (http://redst8r.wordpress.com/).
