Albert was born and raised in the blue-collar community of Northwest Indiana, where his mother was a clerk in the County Prosecutor’s office and his father was a steel mill crane operator. Their example of community, love of life, hard work, and deep regard for education led their children to expand their horizons, receive six university degrees, and build careers as educators and business professionals. Albert received an MBA and built a 25-year career in investment banking and corporate treasury in Fortune 100 corporations.
Albert’s career began as Cash Manager for the City of Gary, Indiana, where he gained his first investing experience and learned the inner workings of government and politics. Albert's passion for history and science laid the foundation for his academic excellence, earning him a full-ride scholarship to Purdue University, where he later obtained a Bachelor of Science in Business. With the goal of pursuing an investment banking career, Albert entered the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, where he received a LEAD Scholarship.
Upon completing his MBA, Albert entered Chicago’s largest investment bank, First Chicago Capital Markets (now part of JP Morgan Chase). At First Chicago Albert worked in sales and trading, and in corporate finance, providing capital-raising and advisory services to governments, corporations, and financial institutions around the globe.
Inspired by weather and lifestyle, Albert moved his family to Southern California, and entered the second phase of his career as a treasury officer in Fortune 100 corporations. In these roles Albert focused on capital raising and financial risk management, transacting and walking across Asia, Africa, Europe, Canada, the U.S. and South America.
Throughout his career Albert made his mark as a dedicated, multi-tooled, inspirational, values-driven, and value-generating leader. Albert volunteered as a motivational speaker at local high schools in the Chicago metro area, inspiring juniors and seniors, including those at risk, to make positive life choices and pursue their potential. As Congressman, Albert pledges to partner with his colleagues to balance Executive power, and enact legislation that serves the interests of his constituents, the nation, and the community of freedom loving allies around the world.
