The most photographed man on Wall Street works on the floor of the NYSE everyday, trades hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients, yet has never personally owned a share of stock in his life. This is the story of Peter Tuchman:pic.twitter.com/LyMc4B8NXU

After graduating from University of Massachusetts, Peter returned to NY for business school, but didn't start out in finance right away. His early gigs included owning a record store, running a music business, and spending time in Africa working for a Norwegian oil company.

Peter's pivot into finance came when his father (a doctor) had a patient who ran a brokerage at the NYSE and needed a teletypist one summer. In May 1985, Peter first stepped on the NYSE floor, back when there were still throngs of people hustling through the exchange.pic.twitter.com/mCiymGGUwc

After that summer, Peter knew where he wanted to do for a living. In the decades that followed, he would rise through the ranks of floor traders and become a mainstay of NYSE and Wall Street open outcry culture.pic.twitter.com/H5yXjI0qX8

A quality that separates Peter from other traders and brokers? He's never personally owned a stock in his life. He says it helps him focus on his customer's P&L over his own.pic.twitter.com/BX7m4UL2wM

Why is Peter the most photographed man on Wall Street? 1) his Einstein vibe commands attention on the floor. 2) Peter wears his emotions on his sleeve, echoing the many pajama traders at home who feel what he feels on big up or down days:pic.twitter.com/wR060OTPOB

The next time you see his photo on a stock market news article, stop and smile. Peter's a man who loves his job despite the slow fading of human traders. "What makes what I do so powerful & meaningful & still so important is the human factor on the floor of the stock exchange"pic.twitter.com/LEPJpTAPWt
