After attending a high school field trip to the Board of Trade, Andy always knew he wanted to be involved in the grain business. Andy graduated from Southern Illinois in 1999 with a Finance degree and a minor in Agribusiness Economics. He started like everyone does on the floor of the CBOT as a runner and quickly moved his way up. Andy moved off the floor to the office once the thrill of open outcry went predominately electronic. Even though his specialty is in grains/livestock, he ’s always looking for opportunities in the financial and metal markets through fundamental and technical analysis. His main focus on and off the trading floor has always been his superior customer service and building lifelong relationships with his clients.
