As a Financial Advisor at BLBB, Ed is most proud of helping his clients to achieve their most sought-after financial goals as well as assisting clients in the creation of wealth for their family’s future generations. His approach to managing client wealth starts with a review of a client’s financial goals, which leads to the development of creative investment solutions that are tailored to the client’s risk appetite and investment time horizon.

Ed is also the Director of Retirement Plans at BLBB. As an ERISA 3(38) fiduciary, he offers clients a disciplined and well-documented approach to the mandated routine reviews. His formal approach to a plan sponsor’s fiduciary duties provides a welcomed measure of assurance to management who may be concerned about the liabilities associated with offering and overseeing a qualified retirement program.

Prior to joining BLBB Advisors, Ed was the President and CEO of the Gwynedd Company for 24 years. As an Investment Advisor Representative with the company, he grew the Gwynedd Company to over $100 million in assets under management.

Ed also brings 25 years of corporate compensation and benefits experience acquired in large companies in the Philadelphia area. He has held senior human resource positions at CertainTeed Corporation, Shared Medical Systems, and NovaCare.

Ed is a graduate of Temple University with a Bachelor in Business Administration and Accounting.

Outside of the office, Ed enjoys spending time with his wife, Pam, his family, spoiling his eleven grandchildren, and playing golf. He serves on the boards of several local non-profit organizations.
