The advent of the Internet and online trading changed the financial industry dramatically. While holding down a regular 9-to-5 corporate job, Brian tried his hand at day trading during the dotcom era. He made a lot of money and then lost a lot of money. It was a humbling lesson but he learned much and thankfully did not suffer the fate of many who lost more than they started with.
Brian retired from the corporate world in 2014 after over 30 years of service. Andrew and he had met and worked together for a number of years in another field. Today, they continue to work together doing what they both enjoy: trading and helping others achieve their goals.
After working for over a decade in the IT field, his daughter, Allie, was diagnosed with nonverbal autism. That moment changed his family and shifted considerably their life’s priorities. Thor, his wife, Janelle, their son, and their daughter decided to relocate across Florida so Allie could attend a private school that was very well suited for her needs. Thor also made the decision to leave the demanding IT field in order to be able to focus more on his family. During this relocation, Thor came across Andrew’s book. After reading it cover to cover, Thor knew he wanted to become a trader. He has been studying hard to be a consistently profitable trader and help his trading community whenever possible. Thor is now a full-time trader and moderator at BBT.
As a family man, Thor’s favorite thing to do is hitting the beach with his wife and kids, and living each day with them to the fullest.
Before day trading, Carlos spent 12 years in logistics and customer operations management for a home appliance company. After the company made the decision to relocate to another state, Carlos took this as an opportunity to embrace his passion and become involved in the world of day trading on a full-time basis.
Carlos enjoys outdoor activities like cycling and snowboarding, and he has recently begun to explore mountain hiking!
Outside of trading, Peter is very active with mental health causes and is on the board of several local and national charities. For fun, he loves single track mountain biking, adventure races, auto racing and international travel. He has been blissfully married for 26 years and is proud to boast 3 grown children.
Norm loves sharing life with his supportive wife and vivacious young son. He has been involved with various charities and organizations including the American Red Cross, Alzheimer’s and breast cancer research foundations, several animal rescues, and working with the homeless. In his spare time, Norm enjoys playing golf, traveling, motorcycle racing, competitive skydiving, shooting sports, and Texas Longhorns Football.
Michael has been happily married for 20 years and has 2 wonderful children. Outside of trading, he enjoys spending time with his family, volunteering as a soccer referee, and playing sports.
In 2015, he published his first book, How to Day Trade for a Living, a simple, concise and practical guide to day trading, written for everyone, regardless of their financial market knowledge. Later, in 2016, he started the Bear Bull Traders community (formerly known as Vancouver-Traders), as a forum for serious traders to share their knowledge and expertise with other traders around the world.
Andrew is in a lifelong affair with Nature! Whenever he is not trading or in front of his computer, he is in the outdoors, either hiking, trekking, skiing, or high altitude climbing. Ask him about breathing at 20,000 feet!
John has been married for 20 years and is the father of 2 teenage boys. In his spare time he enjoys playing mediocre guitar, mountain biking, and watching his sons play hockey.
Tiffany’s background is in psychology. She started her career as a counselor at a children’s hospital. While she remains passionate about children and mental health, trading gives her the flexibility to still be a full-time mom.
Tiffany has been married for 16 years. In her spare time, she loves being with her family, yoga, hiking, camping, fishing, and watching her children compete.
Abiel finds refreshment in exercising; running; going outdoors in his off-road vehicle with his wife, family and friends; and traveling throughout Mexico to discover new and amazing places.
While at UNLV studying for his degree, he co-founded an AI startup that focused on drone / AI technology in the construction industry, winning various pitch / startup competitions, and partnering with Lockheed Martin – CDL Systems on the idea. It was shortly after this time that he found Andrew’s “How to Day Trade for a Living” while researching for an AI / algorithmic trading idea. He joined BBT officially in May of 2018 and began full-time day trading in early 2020, bringing his vast technology experience to the community in his attempt to remove as many hurdles to entry for himself and others along the way.
During his free time Kyle enjoys remaining active, practicing martial arts, playing ice hockey, tinkering / maker projects, and strives to learn something new everyday. He lives by a pay-it-forward ideology as he attempts to better himself and others around him on a daily basis.
Hoping to become increasingly proficient in options, Jarad provides traders a fresh perspective on using new strategies to handle any market situation. During the hours not spent staring at a computer screen, he enjoys cooking Cajun cuisine, playing with his 2 chinchillas, and spending time with his girlfriend (and soon to be fiancée) of 5-plus years.
Bryan graduated from the California Maritime Academy with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Transportation. His training and formal education involved studies in management, logistics, operations, navigation, and risk analysis aboard ships. Bryan’s primary duty was to manage a bridge navigation watch team for 8-12 hours a day, ensuring the vessel got to where it was supposed to go, in as efficient and safe of a manner as possible.
After spending nearly 10 years sailing the oceans aboard tugboats, cruise ships, ammo ships, and tankers, Bryan decided it was time for a new career path. While stuck for four months on a ship in Diego Garcia(an island south of India), he came across Andrew’s book, ‘How to Day Trade for Living’, and that launched him on an entirely new journey. Bryan has now been a member of the Bear Bull Traders community for several years. His commitment to offering support to new traders led him to become one of the Bear Bull Trader’s moderators as well as a member of the Peak Capital Trading leadership.
I spent a good few weeks trying to find a trading community that I felt wasn't a 'follow me only' place, and actually provided a well rounded trading experience for both new and experienced traders alike. BearBull Traders is that community. Great job Andrew and the rest of the BBT moderations for providing a 'home' for traders.

I have been with the BBT family since the end of 2019, and the experience has been extremely fulfilling. I definitely recommend this trading community to all the beginners and existing traders who are looking for a trading family to join.
Karen
Never have I ever looked forward to a Monday until I joined BBT. Waking up to learn, grow, and trade with an incredibly diverse and accepting community has truly been one of the greatest experiences. I feel much more confident in my trading knowing that I have the support of like-minded peers and mentors.
Megan Marlow
My husband and I have been members for over two years now. We appreciate all of the resources available to us, and especially the support during difficult times.
Lulin
I spent 3 months searching for the right trading community, having decided trading was for me. I came across Andrew’s books while researching, and having found BBT, I have never looked back. There is a wealth of information, experience & a brilliant work ethic at BBT.

I struggled for several months trying to build a successful trading business by going at it alone. Staying connected to other day traders and emphasis on continuing education from professionals who stay calm and focus on strategy – EXACTLY what I was searching for.
