If I could meet anyone: Alexander the Great. I think it would be interesting to find out what exactly drove him and how he was able to motivate his army/followers. I would like to know if he was insane or power-hungry. Did he think he was changing the world for the better by his actions? It just seems amazing to me that he was able to create such a large empire when the means of communication and travel were so primitive and any insight directly from the source would be very enlightening.

Best part about work @ WH: I think my favorite thing about working here is the diversity of the work I’ve done over the last few years. Some jobs you get pigeon-holed into some routine that you do day in and day out. Here I’ve been able to contribute to so many different projects. Whether I’m trading, writing software, or designing new strategies the work is always interesting.
