Description

Steven M. Black, multimillionaire co-founder of the Northern California boutique winery UPTick Vineyards, shares his journey from mail clerk in the New York offices of Merrill Lynch during Wall Street's turbulent "growing up years" to the elite post of one of the finance industry's top operations executives to success in California's wine country. In 1976 when Steven M. Black reported for work as a clerk in the mailroom of New York City's Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith, the nineteen-year-old son of a pattern cutter in the garment district had no idea what a challenging and gratifying journey lay before him. All he knew was he didn't do well in school, had no college education, and was lucky to get that lowly starting position. He was eager to learn and determined to succeed, but it wouldn't be easy. He was confident he had the aptitude and drive to excel in a securities firm's operations department, but time after time he was denied a positon, because he lacked that college degree. Looking back, Black is amazed at the simplicity in the system of checks and balances that applied to the industry during his journey to success. After working thirty-plus years for securities firms, Black devoted his energies to preparing LPL Financial for its long-awaited IPO. Once the opening bell rang on November 18, 2010, investors took advantage of the highly anticipated stock offering, and Black knew he had done his job well. Ready for a new challenge, he retired from the industry at age fifty-three and joined his astute wife in launching their family business, UPTick Vineyards, which produces award-winning varietals in California's Sonoma County.Black shares not only the story of his success but also his Standards List, his Guidelines for Success, an extensive News and Events section of key events that impacted the U.S. economy from 1970 through mid-2014, a list of Dow Jones milestones for three decades and the challenges he and his family faced as they launched their winery.
