Thor Young has over 3 years of professional trading experience and has been a moderator at BBT for over a year. He prides himself in creating high quality educational material to help explain the complexities of the market in common language. Thor got started trading while working for an options trading platform. He started cutting his teeth on the market and became fascinated with the execution side of trading. 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 their life’s priorities considerably. Thor, his beautiful wife Janelle, their son JD, and their daughter relocated so Allie could attend a private Autism school. 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 joined the room shortly after. Since then, he has studied hard to become a consistently profitable trader and help his trading community whenever possible.

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.

He joined Bear Bull Traders as a student in mid-2017, after coming across and reading Andrew’s book, How to Day Trade for a Living. Carlos completed the training courses and after 7 months in the simulator started trading live in January 2018.
Before day trading, Carlos spent 12 years in logistics and customer operations management for a home appliance company.

Peter has over 25 years of experience as a global business management and IT executive. Throughout his professional career, he traded stocks as both a swing and day trader. Peter now trades full time with Bear Bull Traders and is a moderator in the live chatroom. He joined Bear Bull Traders in early 2017 after reading Andrew’s first book and finding that it directly resonated with his own trading style.

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.

After nearly 2 decades as a national TV sales executive with the “Big Four” networks, Norm decided to go in a new direction. An interest in the financial markets since his youth (he bought his first stock at the age of 6), which later turned into a successful hobby of day and swing trading, led Norm to become a full-time equities trader in 2018. He soon realized though that to be a consistently profitable full-time trader required training and experience that he did not yet have. Inspired by reading Andrew’s book for the first time in the fall of 2016, he joined Bear Bull Traders soon after his career change. His experience in this process and desire to help new traders develop their own success prompted him to become a part of the Bear Bull Traders team.

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.

Jarad is a software engineer who has worked on GIS technologies for the past 7 years for a well-known defense contracting company. After reading How To Day Trade for a Living in late 2018, he began the journey of developing his trading skills through day trading, swing trading, and then options trading. He joined Bear Bull Traders, knowing that his desire for learning the markets and sharing his experiences would provide valuable content to others who share this passion.

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.

Aiman is first and foremost a medical student. He personally knew nothing about the stock market until he found himself becoming interested in the crypto market. It took a few months, but after realizing that the crypto market wasn’t for him, he shifted toward the stock market. He read many books, some better than others, and then one day, Andrew’s book, How to Day Trade for a Living, was recommended to him on Amazon. Andrew’s book was the game changer! Because of it, Aiman joined BBT at the end of May 2018 and has been a member ever since. After 8 months of simulator practice, and after finally finding his edge, he started live trading in January 2019.
