Pre-marriage → early family yearslifeLife / GE chapter
Nine moves with GE — then stability for family
Moved nine times with GE before marriage and children, then twice more with two of four children. Chose hard commuting seasons later so the family could put down roots.
Tradeoff: Career stretch vs. family stability — I absorbed the commute so my children did not absorb constant relocation.
- Nine GE moves pre-marriage
- Two additional moves with young children
- Chose West Chester, PA roots while working Garden City, Long Island

Left home at 4:15 a.m., returned around 9:30–10:00 p.m., for roughly four years — the unglamorous side of senior ownership when family location is non-negotiable.
Tradeoff: Title and company are what recruiters see. The stretch was the 4:15 a.m. train of days, not a job-hopping narrative.
- 4:15 a.m. departures
- 9:30–10:00 p.m. returns
- Four years of sustained executive ownership under family constraints
