Remembering Aidan
January 9, 2021
by Alan Chan
We are deeply saddened by the news. Aidan and Tyler were life-long friends since they first joined MAC more than a decade ago. He was always calm and cool, got along well with everyone and had a diverse interest in many topics. We once even discussed how to profit from Tesla stock through complex options. I was so surprised when he casually mentioned a "straddle strategy" which usually only a sophisticated option trader would use!
He would always start the conversation with "Yo, Tyler" or "Hey, Alan" with a calm voice (never in a rush). He and Tyler always talked non-stop in the car and even during swim practice, so much so that coach Mike once separated the two to different lanes at opposite ends of the pool and yet they still figured out a way to talk (underwater, I think)...
Over the last two years, Aidan became interested in learning Chinese and many times, he responded to my messages in Chinese!
We have many fond memories of Aidan and will miss him very much...
