The person behind the pages

Brock Pivec.
The longer story.

I’m from Maryland. My story runs through family restaurants, team sports, study abroad, a trading desk, and the software I’ve built along the way.

A little context.

I grew up around my family’s restaurants, including Piv’s Pub. A restaurant makes the work behind a business visible: the people, the service, and the details that give someone a reason to come back. That is still an interesting standard to bring to something built on a screen.

At Loyola Blakefield, I played sports and started a Young Entrepreneurs Club. Study abroad later took me to China and Prague. The travel photos here are from that chapter, with friends and places I want to keep in the story.

Trading became another major chapter. It included substantial losses, and I have published the historical record. The questions that came out of it are practical: what did I expect, what did I do, and what would I change?

What this place is for.

This is where those interests meet. You can explore Brocco, the AI-agent product I built; work through the trading review tools; or read the journal for the thinking behind both.

I also want room for the parts of life that happen away from the desk. Family, travel, photographs, and a good conversation belong here too.
