In his new venture, he's partnering with Gladstone Wealth Partners in Chester, N.J., and joining LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms, according to a news release.

Myer, who works with a diverse clientele of business owners, executives and retirees, was formerly with Merrill Lynch, where he managed approximately $250 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets.
