Author Information

Kerry Killinger was the former chairman, president, and CEO of Washington Mutual Bank, the sixth largest depository bank in the country prior to the financial crisis of 2008. After graduating from the University of Iowa, Kerry worked as a securities analyst at Murphey Favre before quickly rising through the ranks to become executive vice president and director. Just seven short years after Murphy Favre was acquired by Washington Mutual Bank in 1983, Kerry was named CEO, a role for which he received the 2001 Banker of the Year title by American Banker and was elected to the American Society of Corporate Executives. Following the 2008 Recession, Kerry founded Crescent Capital and currently serves as its CEO. Along with his wife, Linda, Kerry is highly involved in a variety of philanthropic efforts and continues to invest in groundbreaking fintech and entrepreneurial projects. Linda Killinger is the CEO of Olympic Consulting Partners. Previously, Linda worked as the vice chair of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, the director of administration for the Iowa Department of Human Services, and the chair of former Governor of Iowa Tom Vilsack's Committee for a Comprehensive Housing Strategy for Iowa. She has an MBA from Drake University and a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa State University, where she currently serves as a Dean's Advisory Council Member for the university's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 2002, Linda and Kerry founded the Kerry & Linda Killinger Foundation, an organization that helps local communities thrive by promoting government fiscal responsibility, encouraging civil discourse, and promoting the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within society. Their philanthropic work has led them to support local organizations like the University of Washington, Shriners Hospitals for Children, United Way, and the Seattle Art Museum. Gary Bennett is a SAG-AFTRA audiobook narrator. He was born and raised in California and then in Bozeman, Montana, and is the oldest of four children.

From reading bedtime stories with his children to performing in front of the microphone, bringing a story to life is one of his greatest joys. Gary has pursued his career in audiobook narration with zeal, continuing to not only invest in personal coaching from some of the best in the industry, but also investing in some of the best equipment for his professional home-based studio. There are few things he enjoys more than stepping into his StudioBricks home studio and recording his favorite books. Gary is also a licensed electrical engineer and a private pilot.
