Colin began his career in 1998 as a proprietary equity trader specializing in short-term trading strategies. After several successful years with two firms, Colin traded his personal capital while developing a short-term discretionary strategy for trading futures. He incorporated technical analysis, momentum, trend-following, and market microstructure. He later used this strategy as the basis for his Commodity Trading Advisor which traded equity, financial, FX, energy, metal, and grain futures for proprietary and client accounts.
Colin joined our team in May 2022 as a research analyst, responsible for investment analysis, research, and trading. He has completed his CFA Level 1 studies. Prior to joining Pioneer, Colin took a career break to raise his two sons.
Colin grew up in Tifton, GA. He graduated with honors from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, where he earned a bachelor’s in Human Evolutionary Biology. While there, he balanced his time between academics and athletics, conducting laboratory research on testosterone and cortisol and playing defensive end on the football team. Colin spent his time in Cambridge as a biology course assistant, Senior Counselor with Phillips Brookes House Association’s Franklin I-O, and volunteering with PBHA’s Franklin Afterschool Enrichment.
Colin lives in Caldwell, NJ, with his wife Johanna, two sons Harper and Quinn, their Shiba Inu, Sora Koi, and three cats, Bob Whiskey, Cookie, and Ginger Licorice. Most of his time outside work is spent with his family, cheering on the boys’ sports teams, maintaining his yard, and renovating his ninety-six-year-old house.
