Andrew Farkas doesn't work in small numbers. As a compulsive and prodigious computer jock at the Trinity School in New York, he organized Data Mini-Systems Corporation, which provided software and hardware to small businesses and professional offices, and turned it into a million-dollar enterprise before giving it up to come to Harvard...
