Orion’s unique culture has its roots in the prior military service of its two principals.  Before embarking on their careers in finance, both Peter and Jeff serviced in the United States Navy as members of small, focused teams.  They thrived in demanding, fast-paced environments where the costs of mistakes, inattention or poor judgement could be extraordinarily high.

As a Naval Flight Officer aboard the P-3 Orion, Peter worked as a member of a team for whom crisp, clear communication, decisiveness and rigorous attention to detail was essential to not only the success of the mission, but also the safety of the crew.

As a Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician/Special Operations Operator, Jeff operated around the world in conflict zones where he needed to command the trust of not only fellow U.S. operators, but also foreign allied forces. Whether on missions with the Navy SEALS, U.S. Special Forces, or foreign allied bomb disposal units, Jeff operated, often with imperfect information, in fluid, rapidly evolving circumstances which required pro-active, clear thinking coupled with precise and decisive action.

The esprit du corps developed during Peter and Jeff’s military service is evident in Orion’s culture today in a positive, good-natured, can-do attitude that permeates our firm.
