Until 1987, I lived a rather conventional life. The oldest of five children, I was raised in a strict catholic family, went to a catholic grade school for two years and a catholic boys high school. I graduated from the University of Colorado with B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Marketing. Although my father was strict, I have great memories of him teaching me to fly fish, ice skate and fly kites. In my younger years, my grandparents were a principal source of encouragement and love. I remember my grandmother taking me to see movies and my grandfather teaching me to paint and repair things.

I spent most of the first half of my business career working for two large companies: 3M and Motorola. Before my early mentor, J. S., discovered me, I worked as a sales engineer in 3Ms Instrument Department. During this time, I received my MBA degree from the University of Southern California. Under J., I did market research on a number of new products, including magnetic striped credit cards. At Motorola I was involved in new business development and the acquisition of businesses. Between 3M and Motorola, I was with a small company, A. C. & C.; we pioneered the currency vendor (ATM) and magnetic stripe credit card reader. During these years I also worked briefly at the Institute for Executive Research where J.B. taught affirmations and personal motivation.

The second half of my business career was spent in venture capital where I invested in and had a hand in starting over 50 new enterprises around the United States. As venture capitalists, my partners and I raised pools of money from large institutions and wealthy individuals, and then invested the funds in small start-up companies. I achieved a degree of success as a mentor to small businesses, as well as financially. My second son, Kenton, was born during these years; my first son, Kristopher, had been born when I was at 3M...
