Manager for his clients at State Street Global Advisors in Boston, MA. His
clients included a well-known list of some of the largest defined
contribution plans in the United States. Within these client portfolios,
John's primary focus was on the preservation of investors' capital. To this
end, the emphasis in these strategies involved intensive and exhaustive
research on the underlying collateral within any given security. John was

few.
