The banking industry has been good to me especially working for Silicon Valley Bank which is the only bank in the world that works with technology, cleantech and life science companies and their venture capital and private equity investors. SVB has offices in 27 high tech cities around the U.S. and globally in the U.K., Israel, India and China. I've had the opportunity to travel the world and meet some very interesting and famous people over the years. I never would have imagined this joining SVB when were less that $65 mil. in assets and 50 employees and 2 offices in Silicon Valley.
Got married the first time time while still at SJSU. That marriage lasted 21 years and produced my only child, Jennifer, who's now 46 and living in S.F. Got remarrried to Linda 21 years ago and it's been marital bliss ever since especially since she's Italian and knows how to cook. Thinking about taking up golf or other hobbies. Still active in business serving on various boards of directors.
