Upon receiving his college degree, Pat was hired by E.F. Hutton as an account executive. In this capacity, he conducted numerous seminars for traders and investors. The advent of the personal computer and advanced analytic trading software prompted Pat to hone his programming skills and apply them to trading software in an effort to further quantify and test his personal market theories.

Pat specializes in the short-term trading of financial instruments, indices, and fixed income interest rate-sensitive instruments.
