The usual.
These days I mostly teach CFA courses, consult in risk management, write software, ride horses, and do magic shows. I’m recovering from surgery to replace my right ACL which I tore one week before the TREC World Championship in Mafra (I rode almost non-stop for just over nine hours after I’d torn it), and getting in shape for the next World Championship in 2016 in Spain.
I got my charter in 1999, having studied with Schweser for three years; my Level I review course was taught by Carl Schweser, and my Level II course and Level III course were taught by Andy Temte (who succeeded Carl).
I forgot to say hello during the SF Seminars, but thank you Magician! S2000magician had posted on the S2000 owners club forum S2ki.com, it was a deciding factor on me becoming a candidate. I am now awaiting my Level 3 results a few short years later!
