I don't remember what TAD stood for, but they were basically repackaging factory securities and saying that they had some special technology.
They were financing refrigerators and things like that.
Well, I started really fascinated by investing and wanting to do it.
I remember when I was 10 years old, my dad was a notoriously bad investor himself.
So he didn't give me any good examples.
He was a great lawyer, not a great investor.
But he took me to meet a broker and I started investing.
And then in high school, in the 11th grade, I got a job at the branch office.
of Payne Webber working for a guy named Alan Crown who let me post his books and make cold calls.
And I think we broke certain securities laws, but I think the statute of limitations is passed.
I would trade options on Occidental Petroleum and Teledyne.
There was a lot of volatility and I think I had flurries of making money and lost all of it a couple of different times, but it was a good lesson.
I continued doing it in college and then
My learning started really formally at Warburg Pincus, where I really learned to value enterprises as my first job, kind of across the spectrum of private equity and venture capital.
I worked at a risk arb firm, which was really invaluable.
And then skipping forward, I had way too many jobs in my 20s, but I got really serious at Jefferies.
I had an amazing opportunity to work on the distressed debt desk there.
I started out as a research analyst and I was just like drinking out of a fire hose.
There was so much activity.
The securities were so cheap coming out of distressed.
