Ted's older brother attended Georgetown University, and during his first year there, he met and became great friends with Henry, a young man from New York City who had come to Georgetown after graduating from Millbrook School in 1986. Henry introduced Ted to Millbrook, and the very next fall, Ted began his Vth form year. "My parents still think it was the best thing that ever happened to me."

Ted thrived at Millbrook and went on to study at Harvard University and Harvard Law School. After graduating and working with Skadden Arps for three years, the "holy grail" of job opportunities presented itself: Goldman Sachs was looking for an attorney. Ted applied, got the job, and eventually transitioned into trading and management. Today, his extensive institutional knowledge, attention to the finest details, and long tenure at the company allow him to expertly advise and guide others.
