Widely-recognized throughout the options industry as a pioneer, Stephen holds a degree in Economics from Rutgers University (Class of '82). Immediately upon graduation from college, Stephen established a NYSE / NYFE floor brokerage business that specialized in agency execution of stock index futures and listed equity options and served a customer base that included major investment banks, regional brokerages, and leading buy-side trading firms. Over a 10-year period, Stephen grew that business exponentially, and in 1993, global inter-dealer broker Tullett Prebon recruited Stephen to spearhead their initiative into single stock OTC derivatives
Throughout the next fifteen years, Stephen was instrumental in the build-out of Tullett Prebon's institutional equity option and swaps business, where he became Senior Vice President, Equity Derivative Sales.
In June 2009, Stephen joined WallachBeth Capital, and he leads the firm's Delta One Desk. He holds the FINRA Series 4,7,55, and 63 licenses.
