While attending the Harvard Business School, where he obtained his M.B.A., Van performed in places such as The Hampshire House (home to the pub best known in “Cheers”), The Harvard Club, The Copley Hotel, and also at The Mad Hatter, found on the resort island of Nantucket, off of Cape Cod. He was even seen once at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, sitting at the Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ, pounding out Christmas carols to the delight of the Rockettes!  This father of 3 wonderful sons, all of whom have their own academic, musical, and athletic talents, spends his spare time working out, playing golf, cycling/spinning, reading, fine-tuning his internet web site development/marketing skills, working in technology sales and marketing management (when he must...), and making every effort to enjoy each single day as it comes, striving to make the lives of those around him better. He prefers to spend his vacation time somewhere close to water, usually at a beach, or in a secluded mountain cabin (although he still manages to find a keyboard, no matter where he is...) He also teaches business classes at Shorter College's School of Professional Studies in Atlanta, as an adjunct professor of Business Management, and will shortly be pursuing his Doctorate in Business Management.
