Jared Levy

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Jared Levy went to trade in the pits of Philly, Chicago, and finally New York City, where he lived until the early 2000s. Like many, September 11th changed his life and values, prompting him to leave NYC and the trading floor and relocate to Dallas, where he still resides. In the years that followed, he became a nationally recognized figure as part of CNBC's Fast Money cast and as a regular contributor to Fox Business Network. After two back-to-back near-death experiences, he needed to take some time off to reevaluate his emotional needs and work to fulfill a desire to start a family.
