Business Investments
After he bought into the Florida Panthers, Lehman's first investment opportunity involved a generic pharmaceutical company called Abrika, a start-up with Alan Cohen (also a Florida Panther's owner). Cohen had previously started and sold another pharmaceutical company called Andrx.
Lehman then joined Jordan Zimmerman of Zimmerman Advertising to buy and sell shopping centers in Boca Raton and Palm Beach, Florida. He then turned to investment opportunities closer to home.
Around 2002, Lehman and his partners invested in Green Maurer Golf LLC, a company that planned and designed a putter with a unique alignment system. GMG held seven patents on the club. The company folded in 2006.
In 2009, Lehman bought a stake in a St. Louis auto dealership, launched a homebuilding business and invested in a local bank, his first as a principal at a St. Louis bank, though he has an investment in a bank in San Diego.
In 2013 Dr. Lehman was inducted into the St. Louis Sport Hall of Fame following his 2012 induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
In 2012, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported that Dr. Lehman is part of a St. Louis investment group headed by Tom Stillman that signed a purchase agreement to buy the St. Louis Blues NHL team.
