Steve Cook, Executive Managing Director at LFM Capital shares his journey from the military into manufacturing and then finally into private equity. After his time as a Navy pilot, Steve was looking to create value in the world, not just working his way through a bureaucracy. He found this in a role as a leader in charge of Dell Computer’s manufacturing out of Tennessee. He quickly dedicated more and more of his time and energy towards this endeavor. 

And then a natural disaster hit and it fundamentally shifted how he approached his work and his life.
