MARK WEINTRAUB RESERVE MANAGEMENT GROUP (TWINSBURG, OHIO)

摘要

How did you enter the recycling business? I was born into it on both sides of my family. I'm fourth generation on one side; on the other, my grandfather was in the auto wrecking business. My father, although a pharmacist, went into auto wrecking. Right after I graduated from college, I went to work for him. After we got out of that business, I worked for Columbia Iron & Metal [Cleveland) trading iron and steel scrap, then at the Federal Metal Co. (Cleveland) as a buyer of copper, brass, and bronze. I always really wanted to be a lawyer, so at age 38, I started taking night classes. I worked full time and went to law school at night for four years. When I gradu ated, I worked for Thompson Hine (Cleveland), where two of my previous employers were clients. I was there for about 7 1/2 years. I enjoyed practicing law, but law firm life does not lend itself to building relationships like the scrap business, and I got homesick for the scrap business. One thing led to another, and through old reta tionships I ended up where I am today, as general counsel at Reserve Management Group.
