Robert Saleh wasn’t doing what he wanted with his life, and it took a traumatic event for him to make a dramatic change.
Saleh was putting his finance degree from Northern Michigan University to use, working as a credit analyst for Comerica Bank in Detroit in 2001. On Sept. 11, two commercial jetliners were flown into the World Trade Center in New York City bringing the Twin Towers crashing down.
