Biography
Waldorf started his entrepreneurial career early. At age 13, he started a successful, international software and consulting business. As Waldorf explained to the Wall Street Journal in February 2007, "Families would get a computer and they'd say, 'Oh, I think Greg Waldorf knows a lot about how to set up a computer,' and so I was that kid in the neighborhood who knew that." His mom signed him up to take a programming class, but he was so advanced he ended up teaching it. After receiving his BA from UCLA, he received an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business. Waldorf remains actively involved at Stanford, where he is a member of the Hoover Institution Board of Overseers, and was a founding member of the Stanford Graduate School of Business Management Board.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
“There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
