An Entrepreneurial History
The family's interests date back to mid-west oil business activity that was acquired by Rockefeller in the creation of Standard Oil. For generations since, the family has striven to (1) protect core interests; (2) build wealth through the support of entrepreneurial business efforts; and (3) give back through donor-advised foundation philanthropy.
The family is now geographically dispersed but maintains family office interests in Boston, Cleveland and San Francisco. As with any family that has survived generations, the principal family has diverse interests and passions. At its core, however, lives an entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic. The family has found rewards in business interests that span health care, basic industries and high technology software and hardware.
