    Jay's path in wealth management has been a unique one. Before joining UBS a decade ago, Jay built, managed and sold multiple successful businesses. Understanding the importance of hard work and creative enterprise, Jay has applied his deeply-rooted values, ethics and principles and combined them with an abundance of real world business experience to help his clients view and invest their wealth differently. Fostering enduring relationships based on a firm foundation of experience and knowledge  has enabled him to excel and cultivate his organically grown business.  Jay attended Allegheny College where he earned a dual major in econometrics and political science.  Residing in his hometown of Moon, Jay is active member of St. Margaret Mary Church, he enjoys boating, fishing, the outdoors, gardening and friends and family.  By far his biggest success story is his son Jay IV.
