Ryan Alexander Holmes


After a very eventful school year which included membership in the illustrious fraternity of Kappa Alpha Psi, being employed by American Apparel and my Father's Law Firm, Reynolds grand graduation from Yale (wasn't super long and boring or anything), the many parties afterward and the Nupes across the country road trip from Conneticut to California (3000 miles).

Now it is summer and with summer comes the opportunity and enjoyment to do what you want to do instead of what you have to do. So it's perfectly fitting that I'm working 8 hours a day as an intern working at Western Asset Management, an investment firm located in the heart of Pasadena. It's exactly what I wanted to spend my time doing this summer. No, don't be silly, of course I don't want to lounge at the beach all day, or party every night with my friends. The real fun is in the breath-taking world of stocks and bonds, updated spreadsheets and reviewing hundreds of account guidelines, now thats what I call fun! All jokes aside, Western Asset is a great work environment. In the past fews years they emerged as one the top firms dealing with
the fixed income market, so its a great honor to be working for them. Yes, I'm climbing the corporate ladder and I'm on my way to being the corporate fat cat I always desired to be.

Other things I've been doing this summer: Breathing, Going to the beautiful smog infested beaches of Los Angeles,Modeling, Breathing, Acting (Commercials), Hanging out and Partying with my friends, Video Games, Golfing, Tennis and Breathing

Ryan (Seacrest) Out!

Reynolds Alistair Holmes

With the completion of my undergraduate career at Yale University, I marked my venture into the real world with a 300 mile/3 day drive across the country from my quaint 4 year home of New Haven, CT, back to the promised land of California. Assisted by my frat brother S. Tolbert and my frat/blood brother Ryan, we took the USA by storm, hitting Des Moines, IA and Denver, CO before making the final venture into CA.

As the summer rolled through, I took my career search to the bay area where I find myself now, conquering the challenges of life in the big leagues. Taking a job as a Solar Advisor for bay area solar financing company, Solmentum. They have recently emerged as one of the top expanding renewable energy businesses in California. Now, working 12 hours days on the weekends isn't my favorite thing in the world, but as a great man once said, "Pay me now,Pay me later, either way you're gonna pay me". Hopefully he's happy with my latest installment.

Aside from the hardships of rent, bills, bills, and bills, life is great. Graduation from Yale not only marked my completion of my degree, but also of my competitive track and field career. Don't worry, Ive found plenty of athletic activities to keep my body chiseled. Keep a look out for Reynolds A. Holmes cycling in that Tour De France in the future.
