Mr. Roesler joined Kipling Capital in October, 2003 and brings over 30 years of investment experience in real estate and publicly traded equity and options markets. His responsibilities at Kipling Capital include investment selection, investment structuring, due diligence, overseeing investment relations and raising capital. Mr. Roesler has extensive experience in the equity options markets where he co-founded and served as CEO of the options specialist firm Cole Roesler Trading Group LP (CRTG), eventually expanding the company to over 70 employees with operations on the Pacific Options Exchange (PCX), the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the International Stock Exchange (ISE). CRTG actively traded hundreds of positions with an aggregate value exceeding $1 billion, predominantly focusing on tech stocks.

During his term, Mr. Roesler served on the Board's Executive Committee for two years which was instrumental in the Demutualization of the PCX, allowing it to be sold ultimately to the NYSE Arca.
