Biography


I am a Senior Financial Advisor and my firm’s Co-Chief Investment Officer. I have more than 25 years’ experience in the financial services industry and hold the Certified Investment Management Analyst™ and Certified Financial Planner™ designations; I am a Co-Managing Member of the firm. Before joining Robinson Smith, I was a Managing Director at BlackRock, one of the world’s premier global asset and risk management firms. Prior to that, I worked with investment advisors and high net worth individuals at Forward Management, Citizens Funds, and Fidelity Investments. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Cincinnati. I am active in the community and serve on Boards for the YMCA and the Seacoast Repertory Theatre.  I am also active in coaching baseball, basketball, and flag football.  My wife, Wendi, and I live in the wonderful community of Kensington, N.H. I have three boys and can be often found coaching, refereeing, scorekeeping or just cheering at the kid's baseball and basketball games. A Cleveland native, I enjoy following the city's sports teams.  I also closely follow my alma mater, the Cincinnati Bearcats. I enjoy playing basketball, traveling and appreciating food and wine.
