About Me
As a child, growing up in Detroit, MI, learned computers and excelled in math at an early age. Aspired to be an architect and worked part-time in the family real estate business. However, in college, turned focus towards finance. After graduate school, went to Wall Street as an investment banker. Initial career focus was real estate finance, then became a hedge fund manager. Invested primarily in public companies, across a wide range of industries, especially technology. Also took selected equity positions in private companies. After a successful career, left money management to return to real estate. Married with 5 children. Active in various charitable organizations, such as Community Learning Center, Clearwater, FL (Chairman of the Board); New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund, New York, NY (Former Chairman); Vail Film Festival, Vail, CO (Advisory Board); Clearwater Academy International, Clearwater, FL (Advisory Board).
