Coast Guard. He started his career in the financial services industry in 1968 as an insurance agent with AAA, then in 1975 joined the Carmel office of Kidder, Peabody and Co.where he was licensed by the NASD as an Investment Securities Registered Representative. At Kidder, he specialized in stock and bond trading, as well as options and option strategies and mutual funds.
