brianstl Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I always find it interesting to see our fellow Billikens making names for themselves in the business world. I often think SLU could stand to do a better job of promoting our successful alums. Here are just a few prominent Billikens: Richard Chaifetz - We know him, we love him: http://www.chaifetzgroup.com/team/dr-richard-a-chaifetz Dave Senay - President and CEO of Fleishman Hillard: http://fleishmanhillard.com/profile/dave-senay/ Michael Bidwill - President of the Arizona Cardinals: http://www.azcardinals.com/team/staff/michael-bidwill/61a8f54f-126b-42db-8d51-78e54b8b0288 Rex Sinquefield - Founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors: http://www.rexsinquefield.org/about-rex-sinquefield/ Chris Sommers - Owner of the Pi Pizzeria chain, Gringo, Sqwid: http://www.feaststl.com/dine-out/one-on-one/article_0479e032-bf0e-11e1-ae90-0019bb30f31a.html Wes Clayton & Brian Nottingham - Founders of ShipWorks: http://www.shipworks.com/company/about.php Matthew Porter - Co-Founder and CEO of Contegix: http://www.contegix.com/why-contegix/leadership/ Feel free to add to the list! Stamps.com just bought ShipWorks for $22 million. http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/stamps-com-buys-shipworks-for-million/article_70fbca47-d336-55f4-938f-5fde4b219be5.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are fans of the basketball program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I just read that local restaurateur Dave Bailey is a SLU grad. He owns Bailey's Range downtown, Rooster downtown and on South Grand, Bailey's Chocolate Bar in Lafayette Square, Bridge downtown and Small Batch in midtown, with a BBQ joint coming soon downtown.

bonwich Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The Billiken Blue Angel was probably mentioned in this thread already, but he's coming back to town for the next St. Louis Air Show (which, unfortunately, is almost 2 years away.) http://bit.ly/1ulQu67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 SLU MBA Kenneth Hannah is the new CFO of Brown Shoe: http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/morning_call/2015/02/brown-shoe-cfo-resigns-successor-named.html SLU alum Krista Clement's startup Helper Helper is gaining traction: http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/blog/biznext/2015/02/ncaa-using-st-louis-built-app-to-connect-athletes.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was doing a web search trying to find Carlos McCauley's senior season numbers and decided to see if I could find out what he is up to today. He ended up getting a masters and a doctorate in education at USC after graduating from SLU with a criminal justice degree. He eventually ended up at the Department of Education and currently leads the school turnaround program at WestEd. He, also, goes by Carlas McCauley now. Not a Rex or Chaifetz story, but I thought it was worth a mention. https://www.wested.org/personnel/carlas-mccauley/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was a little confusing myself. I was glad to see he has done well for himself. He never played much until his senior season and then had a pretty good season on an NIT team.

Actually, I recall he played extensively as a freshman while H Waldman was sitting out after transferring. That would have been 1992-93.

He maintained because of his defensive prowess for three years. He was injured in the summer before his senior year so he couldn't play 5 on 5 so he spent the summer in the gym just shooting. Coincidentally he suddenly found his shot his senior year and was a pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Carlos did have an odd career. Starter his freshman year. Buried at the end of the bench his sophomore and junior year, then back to being a starter his senior season. A career like that would never happen nowawdays. He would have transferred. He was a tremendous defender, on par with Redden, Fisher, & McCall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel bad for Gunn’s position, but damn those tweets/“offensive jokes” weren’t even remotely funny and the dude was 41. Those tweets looked like something an early teen would post.

brianstl Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 James Gunn's Suicide Squad is getting amazingly great early reactions from the reviewers. These early reactions are better than any I have seen before. Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy, IMO, is the best of the MCU movies and now it looks like he could have topped it with a DC property.
