Mark Oakley shares his story of growing up in a small farming community in downstate Illinois, population 1,100, to becoming a successful broker at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He started in 1973, the opening day of trade and might just be the youngest member we've interviewed. 

Mark is currently recovering from lung surgery (something we're familiar with) and he would be grateful for any donations to the National Foundation For Transplants at https://donate.transplants.org/markoakley
