2003 Fairfield Entrepreneur of the Year

Eric Schwartz, Founder and President Cambridge Investment Research

2003's Entrepreneur of the Year shares much in common with our entrepreneurs of the past. He moved west. He overcame incredible personal tragedy. It took him 10 years to generate just $500,000 in annual revenues. He moved to Fairfield in 1992 and has expanded to over 80 employees, will generate nearly $70 million in revenues in 2003 and oversees over $7 billion in client funds.

Cambridge Investment Research ranks as one of the top mid-tier securities broker/dealers in the Midwest. They provide product and back office support for approximately 600 independent financial advisors nationwide.

Cambridge is ideally suited for Fairfield. Stable jobs, no debt, and steady growth with an expectation to grow to 250 employees.

Eric Schwartz is the founder and President of Cambridge Investment Research. Eric is really and entrepreneur, the only job he ever had was managing paperboys while he was in college.
