About Me

Brian BTN: I am a three year resident of Riverside, having moved with my family from Briarcliff Manor in Westchester in 2008. I have always loved mathematics. I left high school after my junior year to attend college, having completed AP Calculus (only advanced math course available). I graduated from the U. of Akron (OH) with a BS in Chemical Engineering and an MS in Polymer Science. After working as a Research Engineer, I received my MBA from Columbia, with a concentration in Operations Management and Business Economics. I worked for Credit Suisse (First Boston) for 25 years, in the Treasury and Operations Departments, retiring in 2010 as a Managing Director. I believe even an engineer should be able to write a clear sentence as well as do the math, but it is the math that makes you an engineer.
