Mahoney ’78 Publishes Historical Novel

Graduating from one of the most prestigious Business schools in the country, U of Michigan; Patrick Mahoney (’78) fast tracked a corporate career in the world’s largest consumer products company, Clorox/P&G/Henkel, learning marketing from the masters. Then, he went on to International business at Krupp Polysius. Subsequently, he became an entrepreneur with startling wins and losses. Turning to education, he spent eight years at the Georgia Institute of Technology, ending with his design and construction of their Fundraising database/systems, participation at the 1996 Olympic Games, and 6 years work on a PhD in Computer Science. After disillusioning experiences at Delta Airlines, he traveled extensively around the world….the highlight being a cycling trip through rural Tibet, Everest base camp, and an extended Trek through the Annapurna Mountains.

He has recently completed an historical fiction novel in two volumes: Tibet, Lamplight Unto a Darkened World. These volumes draw upon his distillation of multivariate experiences, and arduous research; covering over half a century of America’s most tumultuous years of unbridled growth.* (Excerpted from description at Amazon.com.)
