Born in Louisville, KY, TraderRob learned to be industrious from a young age. Taking notes from his father’s entrepreneurial spirit, he grew up into the residential home building market to witness supply, demand, price and wages influence behavior at a basic level. He first tasted a passion for studying the economy during his participation in the National Fed Challenge Competition. The competition demanded a thorough crash course in interpreting economic fundamental data and understanding FOMC policy. He attended Clemson University and graduated with a B.S. in Management and a Minor in Economics. After beginning his career in residential contracting, he turned towards his true passions of global market research, analysis and trading. He is a perpetual student of the economy and global markets with a passion for discerning what drives economic activity and market behavior. TraderRob has been studying and trading markets for nearly ten years with a passionate yet calculated edge. He is hungry for criticism and will readily engage in any fellow trader.
