Chris Colvin grew up in northern New Jersey, studied Italian and Philosophy at Vassar College, where he met his wife, spent some time in Italy, moved to New York City and entered the workforce. After a brief stint at the Italian Consulate in New York, he began pursuing his true passion: the financial markets. Chris became a stock broker in 2001 during a vicious bear market, and partnered with a more experienced broker who has since, tragically, passed on. Chris received his Series 7, 24, 63, and 65 NASD licenses before realizing that he could better serve investors by managing a private fund. So he formed JLCC Capital Management, LLC in 2005 with a like-minded colleague, and now partner, John Lee. His flagship fund began trading in 2006, and has since been having a great time honing his investing skills and making money for his clients.
