  • Jul 1988 - Aug 1994

  Helped get the lights turned on with my then-mentor Leo Hindery; then was the junior M&A analyst, then got the opportunity to crawl under houses and climb telephone poles and move to the operating side of the business. Was given the wheel in McKenzie, Tennessee, and then got to move to Nashville to run the state, and later the whole eastern half of the country. Had great success and totally let it go to my head, so Hindery fired my by-then-insufferable ass.
