I joined ARS in 1992 and have over 25 years of portfolio management and research experience. I served as Vice Chairman of A.R. Schmeidler & Co., Inc. prior to the business consolidation with ARS. I continue to manage accounts for corporations, foundations, and high-net-worth clients. Earlier in my career at A.R. Schmeidler/ARS, I was a portfolio manager and research analyst covering multiple sectors with a focus on the banking and semiconductor capital equipment industries. In 2002, I returned to ARS after spending two years as a founding member and Senior Vice President of GasPedal Ventures, LLC, an internet incubator and business development consultancy. I earned my BA in Government from Skidmore College.
