“He brings a broad perspective to his new position and I feel fortunate to have such an energetic, experienced colleague working alongside the best associates in the business,” Brown went on to say.

Coombs received his master’s degree in business administration from Case Western Reserve University and his bachelor’s degree in economics from Albion College. He and his wife reside in Boca Raton, Fla., with their three children.
