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:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary....

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
