Ahern & Associates' Senior Analyst, Bob Schwartz to Retire From Trucking Acquisition Industry After Seven Years of Service

Online, January 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Phoenix, AZ January 4, 2010-After seven years of bringing on some of Ahern & Associates' largest clients and successfully initiating some of the trucking industry's most notable acquisition deals, Bob Schwartz, Senior Analyst is retiring from the business.
Schwartz began his professional career in optics upon graduating from the Los Angeles College of Optics and operating several successful optical shops throughout the Los Angeles area for over 20 years. Moving on and embracing his propensity for analysis, he spent the following three years working within the field of law before accepting an analyst position at Ahern & Associates, Ltd. which ultimately led to the Senior Analyst position from which he is retiring.
Schwartz has brought on some of the largest names in the business as acquisition clients for Ahern like Bennett International Group, Haney Truck Lines, The Custom Companies and Atlantic Street Capital, among others. "Working at Ahern & Associates filled a real void in my life; it was a fast paced environment with never a dull moment and some really great people-I will surely miss it," explains Schwartz.
Andy Ahern, CEO of Ahern & Associates comments: "Bob's service as our Senior Analyst to the company has considerably contributed to our standing as one of the leaders in transportation mergers and acquisitions and although he will be greatly missed, we wish him all the best as he retires."
In appreciation of Schwartz' specialized skill set, Ahern has made a commitment to consult with Schwartz on an as needed basis on future transportation acquisition deals.
