After a 45 year career defined by multiple leadership roles in the financial services industry, two things can be said about Howard- he loves this business, and more importantly he cares deeply for his clients. He joined UBS in 2009 after a 35 year tenure that began at Reynold Securities, a firm that eventually became Morgan Stanley.

Howard built his practice by establishing  meaningful relationships with families built on trust and reliability, providing them with total portfolio management with an emphasis on retirement income planning. With his focus on wealth preservation and protection he has successfully guided his clients through multiple market cycles and downturns in his long career. With the addition of his daughter and, more recently, grandson to the team, the business evolved to where in many cases he works with two and sometimes three generations of the same family.

Howard earned his bachelor's degree from Hofstra University and his MBA from NYU. He also spent two years in the US military. He lives with his wife of over 50 years on Long Island and enjoys golfing and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchild.

Howard is FINRA registered and hold the Series 7 and 63 securities licenses, as well as licenses for Life, Accident and Health insurance, Long-term Care insurance and variable annuities.
