| Introduction | I grew up in northern New Jersey, studied Italian and Philosophy at Vassar College, where I met my wife, spent some time in Italy, moved to New York City and entered the workforce. After a brief stint at the Italian Consulate in New York, I began pursuing my true passion: the financial markets. I became a stock broker in 2001 during a vicious bear market, and partnered with a more experienced broker who has since, tragically, passed on. I received my Series 7, 24, 63, and 65 NASD licenses before realizing that I could better serve investors by managing a private fund. So I formed JLCC Capital Management, LLC in 2005 with a like-minded colleague, and now partner, John Lee. We have since been having a great time honing our investing skills and making money for our clients. |
