Jack was raised in rural Stanford, Illinois, learning the grain business at a young age from the experiences of his parents. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in finance. Following graduation Jack moved to Chicago to work for Belvedere Trading, a proprietary options market-maker. During his tenure as a market-maker he traded open outcry and algorithmic execution across numerous commodity and equity index products as well as managing a derivatives portfolio of soft commodities. After spending over 9 years as a derivatives trader Jack moved back to central Illinois and began working with producers as an advisor with Advance Trading Inc.
Jack joined Integral Trading in 2023 and serves as a Risk Management Advisor. He uses his previous experiences to develop derivative strategies that are dynamically rebalanced to increase potential return while reducing drag from a primarily long volatility portfolio. Jack works closely with each customer to maximize return to storage space while understanding their logistical capabilities. He drives vision at Integral Trading and spends his free time working on systems to make processes more efficient for advisors as well as providing the best products to customers. He and his wife Kaitlyn live outside Bloomington with their 2 children. He enjoys boating and spending time outdoors with his family.
