I don't want to blurt his name out, he's a private citizen and the 'Zone seems to be rather well indexed.
He got his BEd in 1980, founded a tech company in '96, sold 50% interest in '99 for, as I mentioned before, a very tidy sum. Didn't hurt him that the transaction happened prior to the bursting of the tech bubble, but he still earned it, building the business through days that were long enough to cause him health issues.
After stepping down as CEO, he bought a professional sports team, which apparently was one of his long-time dreams.
I don't know him nearly well-enough to simply ask, "how did this all come about?" He always struck me as the ambitious type, the kind of person who just never stops moving. Perhaps, having proven himself as a teacher, he simply had to move on to another challenge. Some people seem to have a great talent for starting, and building, and less interest in maintaining.
