Business is not everything. Two years ago the love of my life gave birth to Tom Junior who makes his dad even prouder than any trading chart.

Oh boy.
Do you want to know what happend during the first date with my future wife? When handing my phone over to her in order to show her the famous picture, the device felt into her glass of wine and died instantly.
I have no idea why she married me anyways.

Maybe she lets us in on that secret one day.
Best
T.
