Started out in science and somehow ended up in sales & marketing. Grew into a results oriented sales professional with extensive experience selling and positioning scientific solutions in the pharma/biotech, life sciences and medical diagnostics markets. In 1998 I created an excel sheet to track spending and cash flow to learn personal finance on my own. They don't teach this in school and by the time one figures it out, most of let all these resources slip through our fingers. It's time to pay it forward to this next gen so that they can shave 15-20 years off for working for "the man" with insights, a library of tools, and motivation from me and plenty of other FI bloggers that I follow.

Thanks for commenting. I completely agree. Damian was the most approachable and open person I met during my time there. He was genuine through and through.
I believe he retired around 2008 or 2009. I’ve kept Damian’s Rules with me since he first presented them. I did slightly modify them to reduce the GE nomenclature.
Damian Thomas was one of the greatest GE lifers I ever met. I had a chance to enjoy a drink with him and a small group at one of the city swings and he was such an interesting fellow. I got the distinct impression that he really had a mission in life – to help sales people excel. He was just lovely and I enjoyed listening to him. I was sorry when he was no longer part of the city swings.
