![]() Rich strives to simplify the financial investment world and create obtainable financial goals for his clients. Investing since he was 14 years old, he knows the investment world can be a scary and confusing place. Along with his eight years of experience as a Financial Advisor, his MBA and twenty years of engineering experience gives him the advantage of being able to boil down technical financial instruments in a simple to understand way. Rich works diligently with his clients to create financial and investing strategies that they can understand and implement.
Rich is very passionate about giving back to the community. He is the Chairman of the Board for The Share Fund and an active member of the board of The Monarch School of New England and the Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce. When Rich is not helping clients, he enjoys his time with his wife, Ginger, in Strafford, NH. He also has three children: Garren is a salesman for a biotech company in San Francisco, Morgan is a CPA working for a large auditing firm, and Erin is a high-school math teacher in Vermont. |
