Ernie graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Government and Psychology. He took an accelerated doctoral program in Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania and, at the Naval Postgraduate School at Fort Ord in Monterey CA, focused on intelligence collection and analysis. From 1989 to 1993, he worked for the U.S. Navy / Department of Defense as a Cryptanalyst and Education Officer based in Heraklion, Greece. And along the way, he developed a reading knowledge of German, Russian, French, Italian, Dutch and, now, is studying Arabic.

In 1999, Ernie founded and was Editor-in-Chief of his own investment newsletter, named BioMarm, for the Health Science industry. He became involved in politics, as Vice Chairman and Treasurer of the Hoboken Democratic Committee, to help restructure their campaign-finance regulations and end corrupt election practices at the county and municipal levels. And, because one of his daughters has special needs, Ernie got involved in education, becoming a member of the Board of Education in Colebrook, Connecticut so he could have an impact on programming to meet and exceed state requirements for elementary school education.

So what does any of this have to do with him working with Barnaby at LK Wealth & Asset Management? Nothing. And Everything. Ernie has been Barnaby’s best friend since they graduated Dartmouth together in 1978 and he convinced Ernie to come out of (semi) retirement to help with the management of his Clients’ affairs. There is no one he trusts more or in whom he has more confidence when it comes to intelligence, integrity and a work ethic second only to his own. Clearly, Ernie brings strong skills, organization and a foundation in research and analysis, which he and Barnaby will apply to provide first-class service, to meet Clients’ financial needs and plans.
