Brian (Randy) Pezim (Vancouver, BC)

For almost as long as Brian can remember, he has been interested in stocks and the market. When he was a preteen, he would watch his father pour over the stock listings in the newspaper and occasionally hear him on the phone with his broker, placing orders to buy and sell shares. One day, Brian asked his father if he could buy some stock and his father said, “Sure.” Brian opened an account and bought 1 (one), yes, 1 share of “The Bell Telephone Company of Canada”. He still has that 1 share today and it has multiplied into a couple of dozen shares through splits and a dividend reinvestment program. That was the starting point for his stock ownership/trading career. Ever since, Brian has been interested in stocks and the stock market and has traded throughout most of his adult life, managing his own investment portfolio. Brian has 2 degrees, including an MBA, and he also took the Canadian Securities Course.

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.

Thor (St. Augustine, FL)

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.

Carlos Moreta (Teaneck, New Jersey)

Carlos is a full-time day trader and moderator with Bear Bull Traders. 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. 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!

Peter Donnelly (Ottawa, ON)

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.

Norm Grunsfeld (Dallas, TX)

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.

Michael Baehr (Camarillo, CA)

Michael retired with the rank of Sergeant Major after 23 years of service in the United States Marine Corps. During his time in the service, he taught Marines on subjects such as strategic leadership, mentorship, and discipline. In February of 2018, while visiting Marines in the work center, Michael stumbled upon Andrew’s book, How to Day Trade for a Living. Upon finishing the book, he realized that it would require time, substantial training, and literally a ton of self-evaluation in order to become a consistently profitable trader. He then joined Bear Bull Traders as a lifetime member, attended the educational classes, developed a business plan, and started reading psychology books, all for the purpose of pursuing in the best fashion possible his desire to become a full-time trader upon retirement from the service.

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.

Andrew (Amin) Aziz (Vancouver, BC)

After moving to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to earn his PhD in chemical engineering, Andrew (Amin) spent several years working in various research scientist positions in the cleantech industry. After being let go from one particular position, he decided to focus his energy on the financial industry and trading markets. With drive and determination, Andrew started studying the stock market. Everyone, including himself, was doubtful. How can someone sitting at home, in front of their computer, beat Wall Street at its own game? Andrew persevered though. He did not listen to his own fears and the doubts of others.

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 Hiltz (Windham, NH)

John retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army after 21 years of service. Five years of his career were spent as an instructor at the United States Military Academy, which is where he developed a passion for educating others. While in the Army, he also became fascinated with day trading and began to consume any information he could find on the topic. However, on his own he was unable to turn that knowledge into consistent trading profits. The turning points in his trading career were reading Andrew’s book, How to Day Trade for a Living, and then joining the Bear Bull Traders community upon his military retirement. With the education provided by the BBT moderators, months of simulated trading, and months of small risk trading, John was able to find consistent profitability within his first year.

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 McCormack (Buford, GA)

After being a full-time stay at home mom to 3 since 2008, Tiffany picked up Andrew’s book, How to Day Trade for a Living, in 2017, and after reading it sensed she was ready for a career as a trader. She knew nothing about the markets before delving into the newly found opportunity. She became a member of Bear Bull Traders immediately. After 6 months of simulator, attending all of the BBT classes, watching countless YouTube videos, and journaling every day, Tiffany finally found her edge 2 years later.

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 Guerra (Monterrey, Mexico)

After 26 years of uninterrupted work in Mexican companies, Abiel took a break to explore new ideas and opportunities, grow a family business, and learn about financial markets and how to make a living off of them. In 2017, with no experience in trading or investing, and after concluding that day trading was too difficult and risky to learn, he found Andrew´s first book and decided to give it a try. Abiel joined BBT in December 2017, started sim in February 2018 and has now gone live since July 2018.

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.

Kyle Kimsey (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Kyle got his start in business at the age of 13 during the dot-com booming late 90’s when he started a freelance web design lemonade stand in Silicon Valley. Life events moved him to Las Vegas and further expanded his career into IT administration where he gained valuable experience working for MGM Corporate (now MGM Resorts). Always wanting to expand his knowledge, he left to head the IT department for a construction tech startup founded by City Center veterans. When the recession hit and things slowed down in Las Vegas, he decided to go back to university where he received a BSBA, majoring in Sports Medicine, and Entrepreneurship.

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.

Jarad Champagne (Lafayette, LA)

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.

Dimah Marhoon (Edmonton, AB Canada)

Dimah’s life changed after reading Andrew’s first book, How to Day Trade for a Living. By the time she reached the last page, Dimah knew without a doubt that trading is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. And so, after 10 years of establishing a career in home building management, she decided to become a day trader. Dimah joined Bear Bull Traders in early 2019. She attended all of the classes offered, read all of the books recommended, and studied hard all year while still working full time. In April 2020, after successfully trading in the simulator, she made the leap to full-time live trading. Other than trading, Dimah’s passions include music, travel, and spending time with her family and friends.

Aiman Almansoori (Russia)

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.

Bryan Walquist (Utah)

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.
