Robert Halleck
I am the retired President of Maryland Federal Bancorp, a billion dollar plus bank public company now part of Truist Corporation. I had a 30 plus year career in financial services. In my early years I was a buyer of banks for First Virginia Banks where I learned the art of financial analysis and negotiation. I hold an MBA from The University of North Carolina and BS in Finance from Norwich University. In my working career I served as trustee of several retirement funds. Obviously, as a bank president I had all departments working for me and I was, for good or bad, a very hands on manager. I believe you must know what you are supervising. I have always managed my own portfolios and mentored several successful investors. I have been an Episcopalian since 1965 and in 3 different parishes been the head of finance, endowment, and planned giving areas. I can evaluate almost any investment opportunity based in the criteria I am given. I work well with others and years ago shed my ego.
