The Businesses

Private Business Holdings

I have no active day-to-day role in the businesses, instead serving as a passive investor with a seat on the Board of Directors for each firm.  Each business is operated by its own management team from its own office with its own legal structure, tax filings, licenses, etc.  For more information, please contact the companies directly.

Public Securities Investments

In the words of Warren Buffett, good investment ideas are rare and subject to competition.  As a general rule, we do not discuss our activities in the public securities markets, even for positions we have sold (because we may repurchase them in the future if the price is attractive).  Some of our strategies involve complex options trades and other positions that are in no way appropriate for the average investor.
