Tom Gores was born in Nazareth, Israel, on the 31st of July 1964 to a Lebanese mother and a Greek father. In 1968, he and his family left his birthplace for a better life in America. They lived in Genesee, Michigan. In high school, he did well in sports and obtained a scholarship to enroll in Michigan State University. He graduated in 1986 with a degree in Bachelor of Science.

Almost a decade after his graduation, Tom Gores put into motion his revolutionary Mergers, Acquisitions and Operations (M&A&O®) approach, and used it to run Platinum Equity, a company he founded in 1995. After 15 years, the firm has became one of the biggest acquisitions companies in the country, acquiring underperforming sectors of Fortune 1000 corporations. The innovative approach is so effective that Platinum Equity is now acknowledged by leading business publications as one of the largest private companies in the country. In fact, the private equity investment firm ranked 27th on Forbes’ Largest Private Companies in 2009.

The company, now a multi-billion-dollar revenue generator, has already acquired $27.5 billion in yearly proceeds.

Tom Gores builds on ventures through finances supported by capital obligations from investors from the public and private sectors as well as through a variegated capital base that comprises the assets of Platinum Equity’s subsidiaries.

Come November, another party will be battling it out against Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. The Green Party, a third party that operates in partnership with the European Federation of Green Parties and the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas, gathered a total of 119,859 (or 0.1%) votes during the 2004 Presidential Elections. They are looking to greatly improve this statistic this year now that they have introduced their presidential candidate in the person of Cynthia McKinney, a former Democratic Representative. McKinney is known as the 1st black woman to represent Georgia in the House of Representatives, where she had stayed in office for 6 consecutive terms. Like the rest of the Green Party members, McKinney believes that proper caring for the Earth’s natural resources is the key to fulfilling the country’s role in realizing the world’s improvement. Although the Green Party is not as popular as the two mainstream parties, Democratic and Republican, its participation in the upcoming elections cannot be shrugged off. They may have gotten a very minimal share of votes in the last elections, but that may change now especially since many are still quite undecided about whom they will vote for. Another crucial factor is the reality that more and more people are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental problems faced by the world today. In all probability, McKinney’s candidacy will offer fresh perspectives for some Americans. So, beware Obama and McCain; the Green Party may very well fight it out till the end!
