Paul M. Kochis

My life was shaped by my parents who instilled in me a deep curiosity about history, politics and the motivations that drive people to excel as I grew up in an Eisenhower era, upwardly mobile, middle class family in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, DC.

A superb college education by the Jesuits and service in the US Army during the Vietnam Era gave me a sense of awe over the power of team work under strong leadership. My three years in law school honed my analytical skills and prepared my for a career for 7 years of law practice and 24 years in the personal investment management business.

I had the pleasure of helping successful people secure their future financially in a variety of sales and senior management positions. Numerous positions in volunteer, non-profit community service and politics allowed me the chance to follow my father's example of making a difference in society.

I have also been blessed with a perfect woman, Amy, as my wife and three wonderful children from a former marriage.
