{"product_id":"an-unforgettable-journey","title":"An Unforgettable Journey","description":"\u003cp\u003eI was born in 1948 in Montclair, New Jersey. I suppose you can call me a \"Baby Boomer\". I retired at age of 72 after a 49-year business career, including five years as a US Army officer. Throughout my life, I have witnessed many changes and events that have greatly affected me. I have shared many of my experiences and observations, and learned a lot. They were all a big part and parcel of my \"incredible journey.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes the reader back to my roots, tracing my grandparents, my early years, high school, college, my military career, my life as a technology executive, and my work at one of the world's premier private equity firms, Insight Venture Partners. It also captures a wonderful \"love\" story I have been blessed to have and share with my bride, Jackie, and our two dear children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book has, in an interesting way, been a catharsis, but equally important, a lifelong goal and aspiration. Many of the people whom I mentioned have helped shape and inspired me to write this book. I have always been passionate about my work and have never relied on \"luck\" to succeed. It was always about the hard work, the long hours, and the many wonderful people I met along this \"unforgettable journey.\" There are several life lessons I hope the reader will take away that may make their life more inspiring, provocative, and meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI attempted to \"connect the dots\" over the more than seventy-five years of my wonderful life. Through the glorious highs, humbling lows, triumphs, and setbacks, I hope the reader will find my \"incredible journey\" engaging, surprisingly unlikely, and utterly unimaginable - as I have.
