I'm Dean Myerow, a private equity and project finance entrepreneur. I am the managing director at Southern Waters Capital and manage the SWC Pheonix Fund. I have been fortunate enough to build upon 30 years of investing with a strong legal background to be successful in the high grade and distressed bond sector. I have been blessed to serve on expert panels, ad-hoc bondholder committess, healthcare, housing, and detention facility financial restructuring groups. I also serve on the board of Green Point Research since 2019.
Friendship Cafe offers employment training and education to adults and young adults with developmental disabilities who want to work in the food service, hospitality or customer service industry.
Most special need adults have little prospect of meaningful employment and therefore the ability to build social skills needed for the workforce.
