Q & A

What inspired you to pursue your career in financial management?

My first job was at Fidelity Investments when I was in high school. I had a passion for equity investing and understanding how companies invest, grow, and manage their business. I spent 4 summers at Fidelity, working in various positions, including the “chart room” where cutting edge technology (for the time) was used to print out long term charts – things that we take for granted today. That experience led to my early career decisions!

What do you do in your personal life that helps you help your clients?

I have had a passion for non-profit endowment management since I was a teenager. I found the concept of a perpetuity and maintaining real purchasing power of financial assets a tremendous aspiration for any school endowment or community foundation. Perpetuity is a long time and involves many different market environments, yet the success or failure of this investment program will have a profound impact on the organization’s ability to meet their mission goals. Many endowments have had significant failures in far shorter period of time than forever! I serve on an endowment board of a local non-profit as well as the public employee pension plan of my local town.
