My Famous Brother
I should probably let him or his wife write this post, but since I am faster I get to express my pride of having him as a brother. As I’m sure you know, either from Mom, Maria, or maybe national television, Reuters, market journals, and any major tech magazine, Paul is now the CFO of Electro Scientific Industries in Portland, Oregon. He began there in early January, 2008.
Yesterday, ESI big wigs had the honor of sounding the closing bell on the Nasdaq and standing front and center was my brother (well maybe a little off to the left). This is very cool! I’m sure that I am expressing similar sentiments as all of my family when I say that I am super happy for him and his success. It couldn’t happen to a better person.
Of course, I doubt they asked him in his interview to be CFO, and I’m sure he failed to mention, what he used to do to his little brother. Maybe it was wise for him not to include me as a character reference since I am still emotionally scarred from being stuffed in the bottom of the sleeping bag, pinned behind my bed and tickled until I couldn’t hold my bladder!
It’s hard to imagine my brother rubbing shoulders with muckity mucks in the business world. He’s too normal and cool to fit into that crowd! On the other hand, I understand he’s super smart and a hard worker. Funny, I didn’t notice that with him sitting on me tapping my chest. Wait, maybe that was Steve….or Mark….I don’t know, maybe it was all of them!
Congratulations Paul!
