I emailed a Principal at a P/E firm, we are both alums from the same school. He emailed me back saying I should call him whenever i'm free. I called his office number twice at two different times but it went straight to voicemail. He also lists his cell phone number in his signature. Is it appropriate for me to call his cell? I don't want to come off as too strong or anything.

Just leave a message and let him get back to you. If you play phone tag a few times, shoot him an email and ask when a good time to call would be.
Agreed. I would try to avoid calling his cellphone number unless he directly states it. Usually cellphone numbers are listed in signatures in case clients cannot reach him at his office.
Just leave him a message on his office phone.
I'll call one more time, then just shoot him an email and ask for the best time.
price to earnings?
lol sorry, I interned in asset management for quite some time, its the reflexes
leave him an angry voicemail and tell him that you're busy too. dont yell but make sure he can tell you are very angry and upset with him by the tone of your voice. then call 5-10 more times. then yell.
