He began his career at these North Carolina papers: New Bern Sun-Journal, Fayetteville Times (where he met his beloved wife, the former Susan Bonnie Miller), Burlington Times-News, and Winston-Salem Journal.
“After relocating to the New York City area, he worked for the Record daily newspaper of Bergen County, N.J., the American Banker trade newspaper, and Knight-Ridder Financial electronic news service before joining Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, where he became a supervisory analyst in equity research.
