Background

About Stephen A. Bennett

I am a native of the great state of New Jersey and attended The College of William and Mary. I studied History and Economics with a particular focus on how they interconnect. Blending all aspects of my liberal arts education together helps me to understand the world. The isomorphisms between all disciplines can provide unique perspectives and insights. I am a fintech and investment professional that has spent almy career in the alternative investment space across hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, long-only equity, and more esoteric strategies. I live in New York City with my wife and enjoy everything the city has to offer. I love to push my boundaries, constantly learn, and work hard and (more importantly) smart. In my spare time I perform in improvisational comedy, listen to music, go to concerts, discuss politics or religion, and spend time with friends and family. All the things that build a life."It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."."-President Theodore Roosevelt, Citizenship in a Republic speech, 1910.
