He led an LBO of Fuller Company (Bethlehem, PA) in 1986 and, as President and CEO, took it to a global leadership position in 1990 when he sold Fuller to its most formidable competitor. Since then, he has been a mentor to many, from start-up entrepreneurs to CEOs of significance. He grew up in modest circumstances in a rural Adirondack mountain area of New York State and graduated from Clarkson University (NY) in 1950 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He served in the Korean War and spent his final army year in a series of military hospitals. He was married to his wife, Betty, for 55 years. She passed in 2008. He was honored with the Clarkson Golden Knight Award in 2010; was inducted into the Clarksons Entrepreneurial Hall of Fame in 2011; and was inducted into the Lehigh Valley (PA) Executive Hall of Fame in 2012. He has two daughters and four grandchildren.ver menos
