Steve has a role in every vital function at High Probability Advisors. He leads our efforts in client services, operations management, corporate strategy, and regulatory compliance. He is also a member of the firm’s investment committee. He started his career as a practicing attorney over 25 years ago focusing in the commercial, corporate, and banking areas, but then moved in-house, becoming the Corporate Counsel for a large SEC Registered Investment Advisor, with affiliated mutual fund family, trust company and broker/dealer firm. With that broad-based legal & investment industry experience, Steve moved to another SEC registered RIA, Clover Capital Management, in 2000 to become its Chief Operating Officer and eventually its President. Clover was acquired by a large public company in 2008. Steve continued with the new firm through the end of the deal transition period in 2014. After leaving Clover, Steve started other successful privately held businesses.
