About Michael Kalb

Michael Kalb, Executive Vice President, Treasurer & Chief Financial Officer at Enanta, was named Philanthropist of the Year at a 2024 philanthropy awards ceremony. In his remarks, Kalb described a ten-year personal journey that began when he embraced his sexuality. He stated that his involvement with the LGBTQ community is about supporting good causes and political activism rather than social activities. Kalb said his work on a shelter for unhoused LGBTQ youth, Sunshine Pride House, helped him learn to love himself as a proud gay man. He attributed the project's success to the community's collective effort and said he was giving the recognition back to the community. In a 2023 collector conversation, Kalb discussed his watch collection, describing his preferences for contemporary timepieces he will wear. He spoke about specific watches including a Patek Philippe 5960/1A, an H. Moser & Cie. perpetual calendar, and a De Bethune, and commented on the engineering of an A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk. Kalb also noted that he looks for innovation and differentiation in watch brands and stated that the watch industry has moved on from the "Holy Trinity" of traditional manufacturers. Separately, in a 2020 musical performance, Kalb sang covers of songs including "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and "The Needle and the Damage Done."

Once I live the life of a millionaire, I spend all my money, didn't have any care. Took all my friends out for a mighty... I lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go. I get my hands on a dollar again. Nobody knows you when you're down in your eye, in your pocket. When you get back on your feet again, nobody knows you when you're down and you're out. When you get back on your feet again, everybody's gonna wanna be your long last friend. Yeah, I said it's strange without any doubt. Nobody knows you when you're down.

I caught you knocking in my cellar door. I love you, baby, can I have some more?

The damage... I sing this song because I love the man. I know that some of you don't understand. Running out. I seen the needle and the damage, a little part of it in everyone.

Somewhere in West Virginia, way out in the pine, I followed the river going to another time. Lost inside of the disco, spun out in the rain. I can see the music play, it's coming round. Long shot from the country just to save the day. I can see the music play, overcoming round this way. Lost inside of the disco, spun out in the rain. I can see the music, it's coming round this way.

If you're just staring at your walls, serving echoing foot farms from tenants wandering distant homes, then this one is for you. You'd be lost. Then this one is for you. This one is for you. A silent diner where you feel. This one is for you. This one is for you. You pass by strangers in the street, there's no one that you care to meet, longing for your TBC, then this one is for you. This one is for you. This one is for you. This one is for you. This one is for you.

So you think it's gone too far and you're hanging on the farm. I won't leave you stranded alone. You will always have a place to call home. I won't leave you stranded alone, even in the midnight sun you'll have a place to call home. I won't leave you stranded alone. You will always have a place to call home. I won't leave you stranded alone, even in the midnight sun you know the to go home.

Strung out from the news, rusty pickup truck and the homesick blues again. Iowa now. From trails to trails to trails beyond the field to dreams. I walked along beside her near the stream. In another place, somewhere out there, yeah, I took her on all the rides at the county fair. I wanna see you again. I wanna see you again. I wanna see you again. I wanna see. I wanna see.

Late in the evening, Saturday night, it makes you wanna go home. Late in the evening, Saturday night, it makes you wanna go. Thanks a lot, everybody. Have a great Saturday.
