Early life and education Boehly, whose grandparents emigrated from Germany, attended Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland, graduating in 1991. Boehly graduated in 1996 from the College of William & Mary with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance. After feeling overwhelmed with his college experience and not knowing exactly what he wanted to do, he visited his former geometry professor from Landon, Steve Sorkin, for advice. Boehly had an interest in finance and Sorkin advised him to move to London due to the potential opportunties to work in one of the largest global financial centres. Taking Sorkin's advice onboard, he moved to London on a special BUNAC visa and studied at the London School of Economics residing at Passfield Hall. Whilst at the London School of Economics, Boehly began working at Citibank and then at CS First Boston.
