Brett Fogle

Brett Fogle founded The Options University in 2004, recognizing the need for quality financial education in the derivatives markets.

He has been active in the markets for over 9 years and previously started and ran an online options related advisory service which gave members daily option picks and market commentary.

"Much of my trading background is rooted in short-term swing trading and options trading but after the market crash of 2000, I recognized the need for risk management and effective porfolio protection. Options, when used properly, are the best way to protect your financial interests in the markets today."

Brett also has a strong background in internet marketing and internet technology. Under his direction, Options University has been able to leverage emerging technology to provide the best in options education to tens of thousand of students worldwide virtually over the internet. The unique combination of these two skills has helped Brett lead Options University to the INC500 within three years of inception. Options University has also raised and donated over $100,000 to various charities and humanitarian efforts under Brett's leadership.
