James "Jim" Regan

I left college with under $1,500 and 2 degrees. At age 55 I was in an excellent position to actually retire...so I did! Turns out it's even better than a great job. What an interesting career I had in the Inventory Finance (“floorplan”) industry where I began in the mid-80's. I achieved top results at managing and growing commercial accounts. One of my bosses called me "Number Two" because he knew it juiced me up. A rigorous work ethic was part of my DNA…it was challenging, cerebral and I had fun doing it. I loved working with my clients, and I never met a stranger. I think I was bred for healthy competition, but significantly as part of a Team. I brought the sum of my skills to work with me to build clients and revenue in representing my employer…and I liked them too.
