He graduated from Princeton with honors in English literature and immediately began work at the First National Bank of Chicago. He rose to become Chief Investment Officer of the Bank in the 1970’s.
He left First Chicago in 1982, joining the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, where he served as Chief Investment Officer in International Private Banking. Both at First Chicago and at Chase, Mr. Hallengren traveled extensively worldwide and became particularly interested in ancient Egyptian civilization as revealed in the tombs and temples around Luxor.
He left Chase in 1992 and formed his own company, Falcon Real Estate Investment Company, Ltd. and served as Chairman of this company until his retirement in 2012. Following retirement, Mr. Hallengren wrote his first novel, Reminiscences of An Accidental Embezzler, which received critical praise. His current novel, A Stabbing Death in Luxor, is based on experiences during his banking career, as well as his interest in Egypt and Luxor.lihat lebih sedikit
