Meet our instructors
Tom escaped Vietnam with nothing and lost $1M in the 2000 crash trusting financial advisors. This devastating loss led him to develop his own unique trading strategy. After successfully teaching his children to trade, he founded Stock Navigators and has coached over 10,000 students to achieve financial independence. Today, with 25+ years of trading experience as a 7-figure trader, Tom leads daily live sessions sharing his proven approach.
Cleve is a Navy veteran and former auto industry professional who traded long hours for a deeper purpose—freedom and control of his time. Like many, he earned well but felt unfulfilled. His turning point came when he discovered trading. With guidance from Tom and the Stock Navigators team, Cleve overcame the steep learning curve and found the freedom he had been searching for. Now, with over four years of trading experience and direct mentorship from Tom, he helps grow and guide the next wave of skilled traders. He specializes in teaching mastery of trend, momentum, volume, and volatility through live coaching, real-time analysis, and custom-built tools. Off the charts, Cleve is building a self-sufficient homestead for his family—focused on health, sustainability, and legacy.
Vu Nguyen is a former chemical engineer who joined Stock Navigators in 2019 with a single goal: to take control of his financial future. Within a year, he graduated from the program, emerged as one of its top-performing students, and made the decision to leave his engineering career to trade full-time.
Over the past three years, Vu became the first Stock Navigators student to surpass $1,000,000 in trading profits, proving that long-term success in the markets comes from structure, discipline, and consistency—not luck or shortcuts. He specializes in day trading futures, with a strong emphasis on market structure, risk management, and repeatable execution.
As a Stock Navigators instructor, Vu is deeply committed to giving back to the community that shaped his journey. His mission is simple: teach traders how to think clearly, manage risk effectively, and trade with intention—so they can build confidence, consistency, and a sustainable future in the markets.
