Interviewer: Tessa Updike, Archivist

Paul is a Portfolio Manager for Osborne Partners Capital Management, and has over 35 years of experience in the investment business. Previously he was a founder and principal of AKJ Asset Management, LLC in Palo Alto, CA.  Over the past 35 years Mr. Resnick has served on the boards of numerous non-profit organizations and has been the board chair of several.  His experience working at the Conservatory was a major reason for his subsequent involvement in non-profit organizations and he says that watching Milton Salkind and John Beckman work together served as a template for him in future non-profit roles. Paul received a B.A. from Claremont McKenna College and a M.B.A. from the UCLA Graduate School of Management.
