Education & Experience
Real users, real reviews.
I grew up traveling the world while skiing on the US Ski Team. I attended Dartmouth and Harvard – majoring in economic and real estate development. My business career began in Dallas -- completing a bank credit training program and then underwriting real estate and business credit facilities
1980's
I began my entrepreneurial career working with one of my real estate developers – he built residential properties and I developed shopping centers on the site. By the late 1980s, I had developed 7 centers and owed $62 million when the S&L; crisis hit. All the banks and S&Ls in Texas went bankrupt – so they called their loans. YIKES! Who knew? It took several years to sell my real estate. As I did, I learned all about managing cash flow, negotiating skillfully, and persevering, despite the overwhelming urge to give up and file for bankruptcy as most developers did!
1990's
Having survived, I actually made money -- enough to sail for 5 years through Central and South America with my family on our 45’ sloop! I also preserved my credit character -- enabling me to borrow $100 million for her next venture!
2000's
