About the CEO series

It has been said that there's no better way to avoid mistakes than learning from those who have gone before you. With the economy slowly rebounding, there's no better time to put this theory to the test.

The Bradenton Herald is publishing an occasional series of interviews with prominent executives who have retired to the Bradenton-Sarasota area. We hope to give a little insight as to what made these executives so successful, what they see in today's changing economy and why they opted to retire to Southwest Florida.
