Professional Bio
Mr. Van Dyke began his investment career at First Kentucky Trust Company in Louisville, KY in 1981 as a senior investment officer managing several private family trust accounts. First Kentucky was a progressive institution in the banking and trust management industry. Mr. Van Dyke made his first investment in the distressed securities market in 1982 through a participation in the certificates of liquidation in Braniff Airlines. The investment in Braniff returned several fold during the following years and prompted Mr. Van Dyke's transition from a traditional financial manager to a distressed securities expert. Mr. Van Dyke joined Tower Investment Group, Inc. in Louisville in 1986 and was offered the greater latitude to focus on the distressed securities market. Mr. Van Dyke sold a minority interest in the firm to Sir John Templeton in December 1996 and changed the name to Gay Harbour management. Sir John capitalized Bay Harbour's offshore fund in 1995. Mr. Van Dyke currently serves on the board of American Banknote Corp. and Buckhead America Corp and is a former director of Telcove. Mr. Van Dyke graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1981 with his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance. Mr. Van Dyke is a Chartered Financial Analyst, and is a member of The Financial Analysts Society of Central Florida, Association for Investment Management and Research, and at the Society of International Business Fellows.
