Kish left to build a 14 year career in the private sector as a business development executive in the mobile technology arena, managing vital business partnerships that created hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars of shareholder value.
While building this successful business career, Kish earned a JD, started a family, and settled back in his hometown of Walnut Creek, CA.
