My career started when I was 15 working for a contractor doing odd jobs and cleaning up work sites.
The summer before high school I lived in the back of a truck and worked 70 hours a week. I directed traffic at the longest single lane tunnel in the world ten hours a day, four days a week, then drove two hours to work a 30 hour shift gutting fish and pitching fish off of the salmon fishing boats.
In college I worked at the Recreation Center my first two years. In the summers I worked on an oil rig doing construction and the following summer I worked for a cellphone tower construction crew digging trenches, driving supplies to job sites, and operating heavy machinery.
After my junior year abroad, I worked for a currencies trading firm and a real estate investment firm as a salesman before finding out they were both scams. Just prior to and during the first semester of my senior year I began working for BrandSource Marketing.
Early Career
Hi, my name is Cody Boyte. This is a little bit about me.
Overview:
- Athletic and energetic
- Analytical and a self-motivated learner
- Extremely varied experiences
- More fun than a barrel of monkeys
Details:
I’m an analytical, outgoing and athletic guy from California. I love to travel and play or watch sports when I get the chance. In high school I played baseball, basketball and football. After breaking my back my junior year I ran cross country. In college I played club lacrosse before studying abroad at Lancaster University where I started on the school basketball team. I now keep myself in shape by working out, playing basketball and hiking or otherwise being outdoors whenever possible.
Growing up I always loved to read and one day, while in a bookstore, I happened on a book about Warren Buffett. I couldn’t believe that someone actually started with $100,000 and ended up with $50 billion. Needless to say I devoured the book (Buffettology) and others before convincing my parents to give me some money to invest. As luck would hold, I had great timing. I started investing about six months before the stock market crashed in 2001. I wasn’t interested in tech stocks at the time, I didn’t understand how they were generating any profits and thus couldn’t see how I would get my money back, so I invested in Chinese stocks and oil stocks. In the following couple years, my stocks went up about 20% a year while my parents regular portfolio lost 40% or so. So much for professional investors. I stopped investing in college when I realized that most investors make money just pushing paper around, they don’t actually do much to change the world.
In college I wanted to travel around the world. I figured that being a journalist would get me there because I could be a foreign correspondent. What was better for adventure and excitement than hanging out in war zones? Turns out you have to get paid, which isn’t happening much for journalists these days. I was a good journalism student, but I eventually realized that I really didn’t enjoy writing about everyone else doing cool things. I wanted to do the cool things (namely build stuff that people actually use). Well, while I was working my way through school, I found out that sales jobs were much better than manual labor (I worked on an oil rig, gutted fish, dug trenches, laid sod, etc). They were inside and I got paid to talk to people all day. What’s better than that?
