Welcome to my Home Page

Welcome to my Home Page. On it you will find the usual tidbits such as information about me, my interests, my resume/vita, courses I’m teaching and links that I use most often.

Note: I have moved most of my materials to my personal site: holowczak.com – you may want to check it out.

I am currently an Associate Professor of Paul H. Chook Department of Information Systems and Statistics at the Zicklin School of Business in Baruch College, City University of New York.

I teach a broad range of courses from database management systems to eCommerce, Cybersecurity and Financial Information Technologies.

Some of the materials used in these and other courses include the very popular Microsoft Access Tutorial and Microsoft PowerPoint for beginners.

My ORACLE SQL*Plus: An Introduction and Tutorial and Oracle9i Developer Suite A Tutorial on Oracle9i Forms and Reports are quite popular.

I was previously the Director of the Bert W. and Sandra Wasserman Trading Floor – Subotnick Financial Services Center (SFSC).

At the Wasserman Trading Floor I taught workshops on using Reuters, FactSet and Bloomberg as well as run trading simulations for many organizations including Baruch’s Masters in Financial Engineering (MFE) program.

I maintain a data warehouse (800 TB and growing) of equity options data (from the OPRA data feed) and other market data. Please contact me at if you are interested in acquiring or working with equity and index options data.

Here are some links to other areas of my home page.
