Company Biographies
Our people are the core of our business. In order that you, our prospective clients, might get to know us better, we have prepared a biographical sketch on each of our people. We have included information on each person's education, career, professional qualifications, work history and, if applicable, participation in community service.
EDUCATION: We believe that education is crucial in the investment business. As an industry we are required to provide continuing education for each of our employees. To give you a reference to our employees' educational history, we have included references to high school, college and important post college studies.
CAREER: The notion of career points towards the conversation the public has about an individual and that to which they are committed. As investment professionals, we are committed to your investment concerns, just as a physician is committed to your health concerns.
WORK HISTORY: Our people come from a diverse work background. We look for people who have been successful with other work situations before joining our firm. A history of commitment to get the job done correctly indicates a level of maturity we desire in our employees.
COMMUNITY SERVICE: All the employees of Nestlerode & Co., Inc. live and work in central Pennsylvania. We believe that putting back into our communities is an important part of being a member of the community. Where applicable, we have included those activities in which our people are participating, making our communities a better place to live.
