Wagner is known as a helper and a fixer, attracted to challenges and happiest when solving complex issues. Since joining Robert Fine in 2014, Wagner’s success been recognized by his peers for his nontraditional approach to financial strategy, creating strong client relationships and often friendships.

Wagner and his wife, Jess, and their two sons – Ben, 4, and Jack, 2 – emphasize giving back to the community, supporting organizations like The Jimmy Fund, Autism Speaks and National Rebuilding Day. In his off time, Wagner and his family enjoy sailing, going to the beach, hiking and skiing.

What would a movie made about your career be called? “Paradigm” – If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

What will work colleagues say at your funeral? I was a man of honor and integrity, always believing if you put good into the world, good will come back to you.
