Page "Bernard Ebbers" Paragraph 2

Born to the family of a traveling salesman, Bernard Ebbers was the second of five children.

He was born in Edmonton and his family also lived in California and New Mexico, while he was growing up, before returning to Edmonton.

Bernard was just a boss.

After high school, Ebbers briefly attended the University of Alberta and Calvin College before enrolling at Mississippi College.

During the time between schools he worked as a milkman and bouncer.

While attending Mississippi College, Ebbers earned a basketball scholarship.

An injury before his senior season prevented him from playing his final year.

Instead of playing, he was assigned to coach the junior varsity team.
