If you get dealt bad cards, you still have to play them. Work hard. That’s the one variable you can control.

About Jeffrey

Grew up in a low-income family outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Says growing up the way he did, there was a premium put on hard work and education: “The only way you were going to succeed is if you overachieved, and I absorbed that to the nth degree.”
Attended Penn State University—started college as a pre-med major, but says he rethought that choice after failing an undergraduate chemistry class.
Admits he was not a good student during his first year of college, but he eventually applied himself and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business.
Right out of college, he became a certified public accountant (CPA) and went to work for an accounting firm, but hated it.
Attended Harvard University where he received his MBA.
After leaving graduate school, he landed a job at Shearson Lehman Brothers, where he learned all about Wall Street and the financial industry—says, “That’s where I fit.”
He has since gone on to found several hedge funds, as well as investment management and financial advisory companies.
