It all began in State College, Pennsylvania, where Ben grew up attending Penn State football games on Saturdays in the fall with his dad. Fast forward to the start of his professional career, as an attorney at Ropes & Gray in Boston. There Ben focused on private equity M&A, venture financing and other corporate transactions. Next he joined Fiduciary Network as a partner, where he met his future TRIA co-founders. At FN, Ben ran the firm’s relationships with multiple RIAs in the company’s portfolio and scoured the Northeast for new transactions.
In 2020, Ben unleashed his entrepreneurial side. Together with Yvonne and Steve, he established TRIA. Their vision — to combine minority capital with unrivaled services and support, and help create the next generation of RIAs. In addition to his in-depth strategic and operational knowledge, Ben leverages his prodigious legal chops to help TRIA partners conduct immaculate M&A operations.
