He selects companies for forward revenue growth using quantitative methods he has applied since college, holding concentrated positions in technology and infrastructure leaders.

Before Bull Run, he supported Morgan Stanley’s New York listed commodity derivatives desk, worked with independent advisors at TD Ameritrade Institutional, and researched quantitative equity and options strategies at Spectrum Financial and IPS Strategic Capital. He holds a B.S. in Finance from the University of Colorado Boulder, where he led the team that placed 4th of about 468 worldwide in the CME Group University Trading Challenge.
