Beto was really young when he first rented out an office in my building. He was one of the most ambitious 20 somethings I ever met. I was very busy working with some of the largest companies in the country that were in restructuring crisis, many already in Chapter 11. I was focused on multi-million-dollar money raises, I was very busy as was my staff, but this kid caught my attention. I spent hours over several months mentoring him in business management and I am glad I did. He kept in touch with me and I was amazed at his growth as a professional. I invited him to become a Managing Director with CSC Capital Partners, something very few people have with us. He and I are currently working on some very large opportunities together.
