Charles David Edinger:  

I've spent most of my life in the New York City area and Fairfield County, Connecticut after finishing undergraduate school in New England and graduate school in Princeton. I love New York and try to take full advantage of the music, art and wonderful energy that pervade the city. I'm currently running a Financial Advisory practice called The Liberty Group. We are part of Wells Fargo Advisors, but we are somewhat unusual at WFA since we work very closely with the investment bankers to support entrepreneurs who we identify from our various business relationships. Prior to joining WFA I built a team with three partners at Merrill Lynch. One of my Merrill partners came with me to Wells and the others may follow. I have created and built a number of technology, education and services companies prior to getting very involved in the biotechnology and healthcare sectors about 8-years ago.

Maggie is now a senior account executive at a boutique firm called Prosek Partners in Manhattan and she is finishing up her MBA at NYU's Stern School of Business, where I also serve on the Board of The Executive Forum, NYU's vehicle for working with senior business executives. My oldest son Charles Rhoads Edinger completed his Commercial Driver's License and has been driving 18-wheelers in Tennessee, where he moved to join his fiancee Shalinka Carr and their beautiful daughter Jaela. I am amazed that he does many of his deliveries into urban areas, where most people have trouble parking a car. Our plan is for Charles Rhoads to set-up his own trucking company after he has acquired enough experience with day-to-day business management. CJ and I share common interests in sports and motorcycles. CJ's brother George Richard Penn Edinger is a screen-writer and producer with NBC in Hollywood. George was the top graduate in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse two years ago. he is a fencer, a musician (piano, trombone, and baritone) and shares my enjoyment of Tolkien, Har...Expand for more
