Roger Strauss Chief Financial Advisor

"I have lived my entire life in various Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, suburban areas. Fortunately, frequent business trips to several parts of the world broadened those horizons in a truly profound way. Early career endeavors included project engineering for various steel companies and companies servicing the steel industry. Positions held included Senior Project Manager. Manager of Engineering, and Vice President of Engineering. Duties typically involved implementation of capital expenditure projects ranging in value up to $100 million dollars. A steady decline of the domestic steel industry resulted in an epidemic of company failures and the necessity to move on to other companies. Ultimately, I made the decision to change careers resulting in a move to the financial arena and my present job position, which I find to be both challenging and exciting. At Prudential Securities, my primary focus is on high net-worth clients, providing comprehensive financial and investment solutions to assist the client in the creation and protection of wealth. Through a systematic evaluation of short and long-term objectives, a personalized asset allocation strategy is developed, specifically tailored to the client's needs and then implemented and monitored on a periodic basis. The goal is to maximize returns and minimize risk while shielding earnings from undue taxes. Prudential has some of the finest financial services available and as a part of this process I draw on these resources to form a team dedicated to achieve these goals. I can never guarantee investment results, but I can guarantee unmatched customer service. I hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University as well as a B.S. in Administration and Management Science, also from Carnegie Mellon University and I hold a Masters of Business from The University of Pittsburgh. I have been a Captain with the U.S. Army [6 months of active duty, 7 years in the reserves], an Instructor at The Community College of Beaver County, teaching both Algebra and Financial Mathematics, an Instructor at Fort Monmouth Radar Repair School teaching Electronics. I am a Registered Financial Advisor in 13 states and a Registered Engineer in 2 states."
