Patrick Kuhse became an expert on ethics the hard way—by taking part in his own criminal acts and suffering the consequences. 

Kuhse originally worked as a successful stockbroker, but he kept his clients in the dark about a number of important issues.  The situation got worse when a friend offered Kuhse a position as the investment advisor for the multi-billion dollar investment portfolio of the state of Oklahoma.  He accepted, and with his “greed goggles” on, illegally bumped up his commission. 

After being caught, Patrick Kuhse spent four years on the lam in Costa Rica, trying to avoid the FBI and the federal government.  Eventually he decided to turn himself in and take responsibility for his actions.  He spent four years in prison, and now devotes himself to speaking to audiences worldwide about the importance of ethical behavior.
