Thomas Lane

With a degree in Econ, Lane launched his career in the U.S. Virgin Islands with a New York bank. Assignments followed in New York City, London and Milan, Italy.

In his 30's, Lane returned to the Midwest. Several periodicals, including the Wall Street Journal published his observations on banking. National Public Radio has featured him as a guest commentator on banking.

Lane occasionally escapes to the Caribbean to sail, spends April in Italy and reserves summer for Northern Michigan.
