With 39 years in the financial services industry, Barry has extensive experience assisting families and individuals in pursuing their financial goals. He is knowledgeable in comprehensive wealth management services, with an expertise in multigenerational family planning strategies, and enjoys distilling complex financial matters into meaningful guidance. Barry has had the pleasure of working alongside his clients and their families through as many as three generations, providing the tailored, strategic guidance needed to address the short- and long-term needs they have for themselves and their loved ones.

Barry has worked closely with his son and fellow financial advisor, Michael, since 2011 – each bringing their distinct perspective to provide comprehensive counsel and support for clients. They enjoy working closely together, bringing a continuity to their service, as well as fostering lasting relationships with each of their clients. Together, the pair joined Raymond James in 2016, where they continue to serve business owners, families, pre-retirees and retirees.

Barry’s interest in a financial services career was sparked at a young age when his mom, Helen, introduced him to the world of investing as she managed her own finances. She further encouraged him to pursue a career as a financial advisor and, following his graduation from Pace University, he later joined David Lerner Associates, where he spent 33 years.

A native New Yorker, Barry was raised in the Bronx and Queens. He met his wife, Sheryl, when they were first introduced by a client. The pair moved to Wayne, New Jersey, following their marriage and have two sons, Michael and Jeffrey. They have welcomed their first grandchild Hailey, who is now 1 year old. An avid reader of current events, Barry enjoys photography, gadgets (big and small) and spending time with his wife and sons.
