Dick
Kell joined the firm in 1987 after gaining a tremendous amount of investment
experience at Northern Trust Company, Ohio Company and A.G. Edwards. After thirteen years in the brokerage
business, Dick was ready for a change to the investment management side of the
industry. He was looking for a company
that managed money on fee basis and performed their own in-house research. In other words, he was looking for a firm
that was able to do what they thought was best for the client and without any
product or production quotas. After
interviewing several companies in Columbus,
Ohio, he found that firm in
Strategic Asset Management, Inc. Dick
became a huge asset to the firm and quickly became a firm principal.
Dick graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration and finance. Dick resides in Dublin, Ohio with his wife, Mollie, and is an avid golfer in his spare time.
