what I've been doing
since high school

Graduated from University of Maryland in 1980 with degree in Criminology, then earned law degree from University of Pennsylvania in 1983. Practiced law for two years, then became an executive recruiter in 1985. Formed own successful executive search firm (Riverbend Group, LLC) in 2005. Also own a professional web domain sales company, SpecialtyDomains.com. Prior to attending University of Maryland, graduated from Montgomery College in Rockville, where I was captain of the varsity tennis team. Moved from Silver Spring to Woodbine, Maryland (Howard County) in late 2006. Enjoy country living with my wife and two children. Have also become an avid fly-fisherman, and particularly enjoy fishing for salmon and rainbow trout in Alaska as often as I can go.

future plans

Continue to expand my executive search and web domain sales businesses; improve my fly-fishing skills; travel to new destinations.

the faculty member I remember the most

Mrs. Plow (Maryland History) was my favorite teacher. She was very knowledgeable, dedicated and caring. I also thank Mr. Gibbs for helping me to expand my vocabulary extensively; that has helped in my career as a lawyer, legal recruiter, etc.
