Entered the investment profession in 1969 and worked for thirteen years with three mutual fund companies (Fidelity, Alliance Capital and T. Rowe Price) primarily as a technology analyst before starting a ten-year partnership investing in small private and public growth companies. In 1992 started an investment advisory company with my wife, Sondra, investing in small public growth companies primarily in the health care and electronics industries focusing on a successful cash flow anlaysis technique.
Been a board member of the National Aquarium in Baltimore for ten years and Chairman of the National Aquarium in DC for the past four years.
My flying adventures started with a Piper in 1995. Bought a great Cessna 182, followed by a Bonanza B36TC in 2000, whereupon I acquired my instrument rating. Purchased SN668 and took delivery in December 2005. N212PK now has almost 400 hours. We fly it single pilot some of the time, but mostly my pro-pilot and I switch seats every leg. N212PK is hangared in Salinas, CA (KSNS) and the Bonanza (now relegated mostly to chase plane status) is hangared in South County of Santa Clara (E16).
When I started flying in 1988, our Minnesota terminal was right across from the airport. I think that is what sparked my interest in flying. We owned a car/truck wash adjacent to our terminal and on occasion the local FBO would bring a fuselage over to wash off. Our site was also used for overflow parking for air shows and the like giving us a great seat for such events!
