VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT:Meet Volunteer John Pandzik -
John has been an active member of Better Investing since 2011 and currently serves as President of the OKI Tri State Chapter’s Dayton Model Investment Club (DayMIC). His investing journey began in the 1980s trading commodities as a hobby—an experience he likes to note he “survived.” Over the decades, he expanded into stocks, no load mutual funds, Forex, stock and index options, and now also trades futures and Exchange Traded Funds.
After more than 34 years of service in the Air Force Civilian Service, John founded InvesTraders, an Ohio registered LLC focused on disciplined, education driven investing. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Science in Management Science from the University of Dayton. John is a FAA certified Remote Pilot with a Small Unmanned Aircraft System Rating. He also edits the WAZE GPS navigation app as the Montgomery and Greene Counties Area Manager. He resides in Xenia, Ohio with his wife, Michelle.
Our volunteers believe in sharing their BetterInvesting knowledge with all investors. The OKI Tri-State Chapter has many dedicated members who have been honored for their outstanding services to their chapter and to the national BetterInvesting organization.
