I worked hard and smarter than most people in the businesses I have been in.

I've tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done.

My expertise was in public finance, particularly corporate taxation, since I had worked at the US Treasury.

I worked for three years in a small IT firm in Chicago. I managed our client base, so I translated into human speak for our technicians. But our company was sold, and the atmosphere and the culture really changed, so I quit without having anything else lined up.

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

America is incredibly professional and corporate.

I'm lucky to have been able to represent different companies over my career.

I built private sector jobs all my life.

I've been around the bend in corporations.

Whenever I came up against presidents of other companies, I was always smarter, because I was from the streets.
