Bank of AmericaAsst. Vice President
Jan. 1988 - Dec. 2001A 13 year career I loved that ended as a result of the violent home invasion kidnapping of my daughter and me for ransom, being held hostage at gunpoint for 14 hours and ultimately being forced to rob the bank in order to save our lives. I never returned to this career yet all that I learned and loved about it carried me through to where I am today as an entrepreneur. I am forever grateful for all the years I spent learning, growing, thriving and loving my career in banking.
