Career
After several years in academia, alternating between teaching jobs at various colleges and furthering my graduate studies in mathematics at University of Wisconsin in Madison, I abandoned course without completing my Ph.D. program and migrated to the world of finance.
For almost two decades, I worked for two securities firms as an investment broker, and assumed roles of sales manager, vice president and corporate officer. In 1991, I started a small investment firm under my own name, managing investment portfolios for clients. During my brokerage days, I incorporated the use of stock options extensively in my business. Now as a portfolio manager, I specialize in risk-control strategies, often with the use of options.
Family
My wife, Juliet, is a retired energy consultant. She was an economist by training, with her Ph.D. in international economics. We have two children. Our son, 41, is a television journalist with an NBC-station in Seattle. He is also directing and anchoring a weekly half-hour news program bearing his name. His wife is a healthcare executive, and they have a 2-year-old daughter. Our 24-year-old daughter appears to be heading toward a career in academics. In May, she will have completed two master’s degrees, in music (piano performance) and in strategic public relations at USC, to add to her two bachelor’s degrees in music and in psychology. She will be pursuing a Ph.D. program in musicology at Yale this fall.
Hobbies and Interests
In the 80’s, I picked up the game of tennis and I am still very much enjoying it. Regrettably though, the games of bridge and chess which I loved a great deal during my SJC days are no longer a part of my life due to the scarcity of leisure time. Blessed with two wonderful and loving children, my family has always been the main focus of my life and I derive my greatest pleasure spending time with them whenever possible. Now, too, our darling 2-year-old granddaughter, would provide me with extraordinary bliss by leaping into my arms and screaming "ah ye-rh" (grandpa) every time she sees me.
