Toby joined Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in 2007 after three years as a financial advisor with another firm. Prior to that time he worked for a global Clean Air Act consulting firm. In 2001, he graduated from the University of Arkansas with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. In 2014, he earned the designation of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® practitioner. That accomplishment was followed by also earning the nationally recognized CERTIFIED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ANALYST® (CIMA®) and Certified 401(k) Professional (C(k)P®) designations.
