“Yeah, my grandfather and grandmother had a store in Detroit for 30 years selling women's coats and women's clothes. His name was Albert, and they called it Alberts. And then when I was a kid, shopping centers were starting to roll out. That was the new idea at the time was major shopping malls. And my dad and uncle built into a chain of stores as the shopping malls rolled out. So that's where I first saw business. When I was in graduate school, my true goal was to be a constitutional lawyer. I was only going to business school to kind of appease my family that I might go back to the business, but private equity started when I was in graduate school and I ended up going in that direction.”
