About me:
Born and raised in Louisville, my brothers, sister, and I were brought up on the values of hard work, responsibility, and service to church and community. My parents, George and Mary Lee, instilled a love of Kentucky in their children through their involvement in public and community service. My father served as secretary of the cabinet in Democratic Governor John Y. Brown’s administration.
After I graduated from Trinity High School in 1976, I attended Vanderbilt University. I spent my summers working on the fishing docks of Kodiak, Alaska to help pay for college. Following my graduation, I used the money I earned in Alaska to backpack solo around the world for a year.
My formal business career started with SerVend International, a company that I co-founded with my father and brother Mark in a local garage in the early 1980s. I became president of SerVend and was a co-inventor of the combination ice/beverage dispenser that SerVend built its successful global business around. I am currently the chairman and founder of Iceberg Ventures, an investment firm, and CEO of Dant Clayton Corporation. I have helped create thousands of American jobs and has founded or invested in over twenty firms including Vogt Ice, a Steelworkers Union Local 1693 signatory.
My business success have allowed me to share my passion in the areas that are most important to him: family, education, and community service. As board member and past chairman of the Louisville Science Center, I helped raise $25 million to modernize the Center and create interactive children’s programs. As member and past chairman of the Bluegrass Young President’s Organization (YPO), I led YPO community outreach with the Habitat for Humanity and the development of a long term partnership with the Center for Interfaith Relations to bring global thought leaders to Louisville for community learning. I have endowed scholarships at Trinity High School and the University of Louisville to create educational opportunities for the youth of Kentucky. On the international stage, I led the development of a collaboration between YPO and the World Conference of Religions for Peace.
Past activities include the founding of Roads to You Louisville, a cross-cultural exchange of young musicians from around the world; board positions at the Crane House, an Asian cultural and education center, Greater Louisville Inc, the University of Louisville Board of Overseers and many companies.
My proudest accomplishments are that of being a husband and a father. My wife Alex, a physician, and I have been married twenty years and have four children.
Best of luck in your campaign, now we need your help.
With your support, our book is the beginning of an overall grassroots campaign to pressure Congress to enact REAL reforms to protect the retirement and 401k's of average Americans!
Our message is controversial and one that Wall Street doesn't want you to hear. "Crazyman's Economics" exposes the fraud of the the stock market and commodities market and shows why they're the two greatest con games in US history!
We need to educate the public to expose the truth about who we refer to as the "Masters of Illusion and Deception, who separate the masses from their money without accountability or prosecution!"
Over 50 MILLION Americans lose money in the stock market, and we're convinced we're investing when we're participating in a rigged gambling game.
We also expose the REAL reason we are paying $4.00 or more at the gas pump. It's not supply and demand, or OPEC, it's due to the OIL SPECULATORS IN THE COMMODITIES MARKET, and they are making fortunes, and you are paying higher gas and food prices!
"Crazyman's Economics" exposes the myth that the markets are key to a strong economy and in fact, work against the average investor and consumer.
We can't let TV Ads let Mitch McConnell muddy up the peoples perceptions. Mitch has drummed up his supporters by declaring, "...if they throw a pebble at me, I'm going to throw a boulder back..." (http://www. kentucky. com/news/state/story/227590. html). Those boulders will be launched on the people by furious, McConnellbots destined to keep their Leader fed. You, me and friends, together, can take those pebbles and hopefully a few sticks right to the resistance. Lets tell Mitch this is not the McConnellwealth of Kentucky!
Greg, PLEASE deliver a Majority whippin' to The Minority Leader and his McConnellbots.
