Born in Stamford and raised in Darien, Fred had been a resident of Westport for over 20 years. He graduated from Tabor Academy in Marion, MA in 1982, received his B.A. from Tulane University in 1986 where he was also a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, and later received his MBA from Fordham University in 1993. Fred spent his entire twenty-plus career at J.P. Morgan Asset Mangement; New York, NY serving as a Managing Director and the former Head of Equity Trading.  

A warm and engaging individual, Fred knew how to make those he met feel welcomed by his bright smile and genorosity. His colorful clothing style was equally part of his memborable personality. It gave Fred great joy to spend time with his beloved family and friends. An avid New York Yankees and Giants fan, he had a passion for boating, and jokingly referred to himself as a summer resident of Norwalk Cove Marina's B dock. To his guests delight, he was a talented chef, especially when preparing barbeque and smoked foods. Though not an A-handicap golfer, Fred loved golf and was a member of Shorehaven Golf Club, as well as a former regular rider of the 523 Club from Grand Central. 

Fred gladly gave both his time and talents to many organizations and charitable causes, serving as a longtime member of the Noroton Fire Department as well as to Al's Angel's, a local organization which assists families of ill children.
