2002--Theresa Kabot and the Kabot Commercial Leasing
credit manager “Crosby” ( If he likes the deal, he wags his tail). Theresa (nicknamed "Tree" by her friends because
she is tall, and it also goes with her legal name) grew up in Connecticut with five brothers
and sisters who are her best friends. During college worked at a ski
shop (winter) and snowboard shop (summer), which began an inclination
to being a bit of a gear head. Received BA at CSU, moved to Portland
and intended to go to law school. After watching the massive increase of enrollment of law
school, decided that, for now, it would be more fun to tell lawyer
jokes than be one. So, put off taking the LSAT and got first "real"
job. Thus began a career in commercial equipment financing with various
positions at Colonial Pacific Leasing (CPL) from 1990 to 1995. (She
was American Leasing's "representative" at CPL. Vivacious.
Bright. Always on the ball. Tenacious, too.) For the last seven years owned and operated Kabot Commercial
Leasing in Seattle. Thinks Seattle is a wonderful part of the country
and continues to enjoy building business in equipment financing. This
has been the first economic downturn experienced as a business owner,
but remains an optimist about the future of the industry and the role
that her niche will play. Her favorite author right now is Tom Robbins. Just finished"
The World is Made of Glass" - West, and started " The Winter
of Our Discontent" - Steinbeck. Finds great satisfaction in painting,
mostly in acrylics, and will admit has taken up crochet, (perhaps
a sign of middle age?). Currently listening to White Stripes, Jay-Z
and really likes the new Nirvana. Loves Crosby Stills Nash & Young,
Tom Waits, The Beatles, Lyle Lovett, Miles Davis and yes, Elvis. Enjoys
backpacking, skiing, and tends to get cranky when not getting plenty
of exercise. Not a very good golfer, yet. Traveled for almost a month
in Italy in 2000, (almost didn't come back), went to Singapore, Bali
and Tokyo this October and have started taking kick boxing and karate
classes. Planning a trip to Costa Rica, and perhaps Peru, this spring.
Has one incredible dog, golden retriever named Crosby. Certain
he is the best dog in the world but have not determined a way to get
him on the payroll, yet. Focuses on rust prevention, and staying focused.
Looks forward to one day keeping bees and collecting residuals.
