After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1972, Lotka pursued several different careers. He worked as a representative for Frankel & Co-Partner and Management, as the VP of Marketing Administration for Nuveen Investments, as the CMO of Cole Capital Markets, and now works as the CEO of Maximum Impact Partners, Inc. which he founded more than 24 years ago.

In addition to being a chapter advisor from 1973-1974, Lotka has also been on the Alumni Supervisory Committee, and served as the VP and Treasurer of Epsilon Epsilon Education Foundation since 2011. When asked what Epsilon means to him, Lotka responded, “My time as a member and officer of the Chapter were very formative years in terms of learning to live with a variety of personalities, different beliefs and acceptance of personal responsibilities.

As an officer of the chapter I learned valuable leadership lessons and how to deal with adversity and occasional chaotic situations. Coupled with the lifelong friendships I developed and brotherhood bonding experiences, I don’t think I would be the same without my experience as a Delt.”
