Recognizing his potential, Andy took Ken under his wing and they have been working together since.

Ken worked within the Daniels Trading infrastructure from the firm’s infancy, starting in a support role and working his way through the ranks. As the firm grew, so too did Ken’s presence within it. In April of 1996, Ken was given the opportunity to learn futures brokerage by assisting Andy Daniels and the firm’s other top brokers. In 1997, Ken became a broker, plying the skills he had learned so meticulously by watching the best in the dt office. In 1999, Ken became Sales Manager for Daniels Trading; in 2002, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Sales; and in 2006, he became the firm’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer.
