Mr. Bush led the formation of The Mentor Corporation, one of the first publicly owned data service companies. He managed the business to profitability, conducted a successful IPO and, ultimately, sold the company to The Williams Companies.

Mr. Bush then joined Williams where he completed the sales of companies Williams acquired in business consolidation plans, acquired the Kerr McGee fertilizer retail outlets and arranged a joint equity interest for Williams in the Tampa Bay Port Facilities.
