Prior to joining LPL Financial

Early in his career, Jeff worked at Sanford C. Bernstein, now part of AllianceBernstein AB, as well as Deutsche Bank as a Research Analyst.

His interest in the market was sparked at an early age, watching his father, who was a stock broker. Two important observations came as a result of the 1987 market crash, when his dad not only stayed invested but did so calmly. The power of these lessons are things he still draws upon today.
