For those who don’t know me, let me introduce myself. I was born in a suburb of Philadelphia and grew up with my mother and older brother. My father, a WW2 vet was a POW in Germany and it eventually cost him his life.

I worked during the summers to support my education and that included being a merchant Marine at 15 years oId traveling to South America and the next year to the Black Sea. Then I world as a groundsman for a Asplundh Tree company working up to Foreman. I worked a summer job for a Investment company at the final years of college. The previous jobs were hard work and long hours. We did what we needed to do and more. I played sports in High School and was an all state, all area Philadelphia running back and linebacker. I was an All American in Lacrosse. I know how to compete.

I graduated from Lehigh University. I started as a Math and Physics major and ended up graduating with a degrees in Economics and in Finance. I paid for my education with my summer earnings, and took every class available to me, crossing into the engineering college for math and computers.

My last day of college my mother died of cancer and I was on my own. My fathers mantra “be successful” translated to me at that age to make money. Later the true meaning was realized, be the best you can at what you do. I was an over achiever and gravitated to Wall Street and quickly rose.
