Biography
Fred Lawrence knows many things about even more things.
With 38 years of living chin-deep in corporate finances, his grasp of
accounting is staggering. We're glad he decided to turn his attention to
the non-profit industry.
Little did Fred know that the rigors of learning the
Russian language would determine his future at Southern Methodist
University, and lead to a change in major from mathematics to
accounting. Numbers mix well with a Texas drawl, Cyrillic languages
apparently don't. After putting a Bachelor's of Business Administration
in Accounting from Southern Methodist University under his belt and
deciding pass up a potential career in professional baseball, Fred
focused nearly two decades working on the financial side of the
manufacturing and distribution industry, and 14 years on finances for
the software industry.
Deciding to put off leisurely world travel and honing his
golfing skills, this fourth generation Texan (Dallas has hosted Fred's
family since 1851) decided in 1999 he would join Advanced Solutions
International (ASI). ASI was quick to see his experience warranted a
promotion and Fred was rapidly appointed Chief Financial Officer. Today,
Fred continues to devote himself to both his family at home and at
ASI.
Through his work at ASI in the last seven years, Fred has developed a
life-long passion for the non-profit industry, and is currently an
active participant in several organisations.
