    Bob began his financial services career in 1981, with Bache Halsey Stuart Shields, on the operational side of the business working in the money market and mutual fund department. Understanding the operational side of the business allowed Bob to provide greater client service to his clients once he made the transition to the role financial advisor in 1984. Bob, an early adopter of the teaming concept, firmly believes that leveraging the knowledge and resources of others enhances the client experience. This leverage goes beyond his immediate team, with the support of UBS, he is able to provide valuable advice to clients by use of an extended team.

    In 2006, Bob, along with the rest of his team, left Wachovia Securities to join UBS Financial Services Inc. Bob works primarily with (ultra) high net worth individuals, business owners, and corporate accounts. His areas of focus include retirement planning, asset allocation, wealth transfer issues, and fixed income. Bob is a graduate of Fairfield University. He is an avid golfer and enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He and his wife, Alison, reside in Fair Haven, NJ, while Bob's daughter, Meghan, lives in New York City with her fiancé. His son, Kyle, is working and living in Chicago.
