JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services is one of the largest and most prestigious recordkeepers in the country. I started that business in 1990 with 4 other employees as part of Twentieth Century Investments in Kansas City, Missouri. JPMorgan purchased the entire business in June of 2003. When I left the firm as CEO in October of 2007, RPS had ovef $115 billion in AUS, 1.5 million participants and 1,100 employees. It was an incredible experience to help build this business with so many talented professionals at American Century and later at JPMorgan.

Started as a defined contribution consultant in the Kansas City Office. When I left the firm as an associate that was responsible for the DC practice in early 1990, the firm had approximately 25 recordkeeping clients in a balance-forward environment. I left the firm because I was convinced the industry was going to make a major move towards daily valuation with larger mutual funds.

At Midwest Commerce Bank I was responsible for the recordkeeping division of the trust consulting business in Elkhart, Indiana. This was my first management position and also exposed me to the banking/trust/custody side of the business.
