"I am a retired floor trader on the CBOE, quantitative model developer and President of Ketchum Trading (the financial arm of a family office) and partner and founder of Alturas Capital Management and quantitative based automated hedge fund.

I have an interest in providing a solid foundation in basic mathematical concepts and building from there into more complex concepts. I believe it is important to understand the how and why of even the most basic arithmetic functions rather than relying on rote memorization and hoping for the best.

I have worked with mathematical concepts close to forty years. I believe my real world applications will translate to a greater understanding of how math works thus creating a solid foundation on which the student can expand their understanding of the subject.

Please feel free to contact me at your at your convenience. Willing to work one on one or with multiple students." less...
