Seeger finished high school at Travis Air Force Base, California, and was inducted into the U.S. Scholastic Football Hall of Fame as a “Scholar-Athlete.”[2] In 1966, Seeger was awarded appointments to all three United States military academies, and attended the U.S. Naval Academy for two years and transferred to Johns Hopkins University (BA 1970).

He is married to Arline Michelle (Sheehan) Seeger (lawyer, former Executive Director of the National Lime Association) and lives in Washington D.C. and Naples, FL.

Career

Mr. Seeger began his career in Washington D.C. as the Legislative Assistant to Congressman Charles Teague (R-CA), Ranking Republican on the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, and then served as a Budget Analyst for the U.S. House Appropriations Committee.[3] In 1976 he ran for the Republican nomination to Congress against the incumbent Republican Member (PA -23) and narrowly lost.[4]

Notable clients included: Salomon Brothers, North Carolina National Bank (now Bank of America), Mutual Benefit Insurance Company, Twenty First Securities, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

In 1986, Mr. Seeger joined the CME as Senior Vice President and Government Counsel, and developed the American Coalition for Flexible Exchange Rates (ACFX) under the leadership of Nobel Laureate, Milton Friedman, and Leo Melamed. After the stock market crash on October 19, 1987 (Black Monday) Seeger provided research assistance to Merton Miller (Nobel Laureate Economics 1990) who authored the seminal report on the causes of the market crash and regulatory remedies.[6] In 1992, Seeger led the strategic development of the Budapest Commodity Exchange for the U.S. State Department, Trade and Development Program, with the CME and Chicago Board of Trade.[7] Seeger founded Financial Markets International, Inc, in November 1992, and has served as President and CEO since its inception. He was an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech University teaching graduate level comparative international financial regulatory policy.
