Barry Koppel was born in 1944 and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from the University of Maryland in 1966 with a degree in finance and went to work for the Xerox corporation in 1967. His first job with Xerox was as a sales representative and later he became a manager. He quickly vaulted up the corporate ladder. After ten years in Baltimore, he was promoted to marketing manager and moved into the Xerox headquarters in Rochester, New York. Barry was making a name for himself as a smart, energetic and effective leader.
After three years in New York, Barry moved his wife, Wendy and two daughters, Robin and Laurie westward, to Pasadena, California, still working for Xerox. He was now a "hot commodity" and was approached by several top-notch hi-tech companies on the west coast. In 1987, he left Xerox and for the next ten years, was the vice-president for three different companies on the West Coast. His hard work -- his investment in his family’s future -- enabled him to retire in 1997, at the tender age of 53.
WORKING OUT AND WORKING ON HIS GAME
He was now free to improve his health, spend more time with his family, explore the world and refine his golf game, which had always been his passion. He was playing golf up to six times a week and had a regular fitness routine that included weight lifting. After several years he lowered his handicap to seven strokes.
Barry and Wendy began spending more and more time at their second home, located outside of Palm Springs. Life was good. There was plenty of sunshine, fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh cut golf courses. Their daughters were grown and living on their own. When Barry was not working out or golfing, he was exercising his mind. He enjoyed reading, monitoring his investments and, like most of us, cheering for his favorite college and professional teams. Barry and Wendy were living the life they had always dreamed of: each day offered the prospect of something new and wonderful. They were traveling, hiking and enjoying each other like newlyweds.
