You will never guess what Andrew Mitchem was doing before he became a successful Forex trader. I have heard about a lot of unusual pre-trading professions before, but Andrew's is the best, by far.  One of the biggest things that I hope you have learn from all of these interviews is that you don't need to have any experience in the financial markets to become a professional Forex trader. In Andrew's case, you don't have to read that many trading books either. Take a guess as to how many trading books he has read.  Talking to traders is always really interesting. After the formal interview, Andrew and I were chatting for a bit and he told me that he and his family were in San Francisco recently. OK, pretty cool…SF is one of the best places to be. Of course, I'm a little biased. But a regular vacation isn't enough for the average trader.  You see, Andrew has a license…to fly a helicopter. He actually has a helicopter at home in New Zealand. So he rented a helicopter in SF and flew under the Golden Gate Bridge! How awesome is that?! Most people settle for a picture in front of the bridge. Ha! I hope that he doesn't mind me sharing that story, but it really goes to show you what is possible when you put in a lot of hard work. Enjoy!
