  Mr. SOTO. Madam Speaker, Lloyd Phillips was born in Guyana and 
relocated to the United States with his parents and siblings in 1969.

attained a bachelor's degree in Economics and then went to Long Island 
University where he graduated with an MBA in Finance.
  Lloyd worked at Barclays Bank before being hired at the number one 
investment banking firm, Goldman Sachs & Company, where he worked in 
the Special Accounts Department. Lloyd subsequently worked his way up 
to Supervising Manager of the Special Accounts Trading Desk.

decided to embark on a career change, joining the ranks of the 
Uniformed Services in New York City. He rose to the rank of Captain 
before taking an early retirement.
  With a young but growing family, Lloyd and his wife Delilah decided

Floridian Association. He was also the President of the Commonwealth 
Alliance Association, Vice-President of the Guyanese-American Cultural
