After graduating from High School, Faulkner enrolled at St. Mary’s University in Canada where he studied both Accounting and Finance, and graduated with a double degree in 1996.
After graduating from college, Faulkner returned to the VI where he landed his first job working at Harney Westwood & Riegels. In 1999, he joined the Social Security Board and left the Board in August of 2011 to start his own company.
But before leaving, he had risen through the ranks where his function, among others, was to manage the Board's portfolio of Investments.
In 2002, he earned an MBA from Wright State University through the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College.
Faulkner is the founder and Managing Director of Pension Management Interative Inc. This is a full service firm specializing in pension plan consultancy, management and administration.
Speaking during the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club of Tortola in July of 2010, the then Investment Manager told the public that the Investment Fund of the SSB stood at $342M.
Faulkner had told the Rotarians that the SSB investment funds have been doing well in light of the financial crisis because of extensive due diligence.
He had further stated in the same speech that three years ago, just before the financial crisis hit, the fund was valued at $301M and at the peak of the crisis it dropped to $277M.
