Donn Davis, class of 1981, came back to Mariemont during Homecoming week to be honored as one of three alumni to be inducted into the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame.  Davis went to college at Miami University where he received a Bachelor degree in finance as well as a law degree from the University of Michigan. Davis is currently a managing partner at a venture capital firm called Revolution LLC that he helped create with Steve Case, the founder of America Online (AOL). Prior to that, Davis worked with the Chicago Cubs where he negotiated player contracts for players like Sammy Sosa. Charlie Zack sat down with Davis to discuss Revolution and how Mariemont had prepared him for his professional career.
