What’s been happening:

First job was with Merrill Lynch in NYC as an investment banker and PSU MBA prepared me well with confidence and financial knowledge for success. Five years later, moved to Houston (TX) for a change in life style and for the thriving investment banking business in the SW. Left investment banking in 1994 and joined EDS where performed same function (M&A) but on an international level. In 2005, took advantage of an early retirement option and began working independently as consultant to various PE firms in performing diligence on acquisitions which allowed my wife and I to relocate to Greenville, SC where we envisioned retiring. In late 2006, a consulting engagement led to full-time employment as SVP, M&A with a company in Tampa, FL where I am currently. Wife enjoys playing tennis year-round and I enjoy frequent travel and leading M&A for an international telecommunication service provider.
