A passion for me is starting and developing businesses – I love challenges. After gaining a first class honors degree in engineering from Loughborough University in England in 1986 and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1990, I shortly thereafter invested in my first business. Through the 1990s I led the setting up or acquisition of several high tech manufacturing facilities and built a contract electronics manufacturing company spanning multiple locations in the US and Mexico, prior to a strategic sale in the late 1990s. In 1998 I invested in a regional residential real estate brokerage firm in south Texas, and have been involved in the past nine years as we have acquired other firms and converted the company to a national franchise. Most recently, in 2003, I co-founded Tusker Group, a legal process outsourcing company with operations in both the US and India. We provide litigation support services utilizing highly trained Indian attorneys and other staff to US and European corporations and law firms.
