In 2001 I left my life on Wall Street and decided to start my own marketing and promotions company. Over the next 4 years Fat Cat grew to be one of the largest marketing and events companies in the tri-state area with clients such as Bacardi, Jim Beam, Dewars, Budweiser, and more. In December 2005 after growing billings to $2,000,000 annually, I sold Fat Cat to Xcite Brands.
