Vasos's Story
Life
Columbia'81,Fed Reserve,BioStrategist.Com
My dad lost both his folks before age five and my mom's dad
was killed by the reds for being Yank; Both my clans come from the
mile-high Pindar Alps of the western Greek mainland, shepherds
from Evrytania Aetolia and loggers of Kastoria Macedonia. I learned
the Byzantine way of thinking in my eight years at St Andrew Academy
and I learned a very American yet international way of openness and
initiative at Windsor School, both in the Flushing quadrant of Queens
county; Thanks to both, I got an Ivy engineering degree at nineteen
from Columbia, where I also studied biofluids and innovation
management at the graduate level. I then went to work for a bunch of
engineering startups and the Federal Reserve before I went on my own
as an intermediary and consultant for medical device and biotek firms.
I knew my folks ...Expand for more
were old and would retire soon after I left grad
school, but I wasn't prepared to spend the next fifteen years to watch
them get sick and die, which drained a lot of my energy.

Military
I view my 2.5yrs at the Fed as sorta like having been
in the military. I guess it doesn't count that in 1975
I nearly started and slammed a sub at the dock where
the Greek sub admiral (whose brother was just then
trying the junta colonels) was standing. (Fortunately,
he was a family friend!)
