Ted Magnuson

Ted Magnuson (1951-) grew up in Detroit, Michigan. After completing an MBA in Florida he traveled west to write business insurance for sawmills, lumber yards and other such business risks. In this calling, he saw 'succession planning' first hand as the companies owned by his clients passed down from father to son. As his own sons grew, going from high school to college to career, Ted recalled his own passage to adulthood. His father too, was an entrepreneur. All this experience compelled him to write ‘The Bouchard Legacy. Besides being an avid student of human nature, Ted loves the out of doors, especially cycling up and over mountain passes for days on end. He dances the Samba and reads voraciously.
