About Me

Roger started his investment industry career in 1992 and joined Stifel in 2015.  Prior to joining Stifel, he began his career at Goldman Sachs, where he focused on bonds and worked in the fixed income division, holding positions in several areas, including investment banking, corporate bond trading, and mortgage and asset-backed bond sales.  Roger then joined Lehman Brothers to focus on equities and worked directly with hedge funds in sourcing investment ideas and portfolio risk management.  He moved to Barclays in 2008 and focused on wealth management for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and mid-sized companies.   At Stifel, Roger emphasizes comprehensive wealth planning for entrepreneurs, family businesses, executives, and financial professionals.

Roger earned a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.  He holds Series 7, 9 & 10, 55, 63, and 66 securities licenses. 

Roger grew up in New Jersey and now travels from New York City to a home in New York’s Adirondacks and the St. Petersburg, Florida, area.  Roger enjoys spending time with his wife and four “almost grown” children.  Philanthropically, Roger is active with several organizations that promote education and career opportunities for disadvantaged youth and organizations that protect the ecosystem around the Lake George region.  He is an avid downhill skier, an “improving” water skier, and has recently taken up the sport of pickle ball, with some ambitious personal goals.  Some of his other hobbies include hiking, road biking, boating, amateur photography, and personal fitness.
