When he’s not engaged in his role as managing director–private wealth advisor at UBS Financial Services Inc., Naples, Jason Stephens devotes his time and resources to a wide array of local organizations, from coaching baseball with the Greater Naples Little League and soccer in the Naples Optimist, to serving as a planned giving board member for the David Lawrence Center. Stephens, who came to Naples at the age of 8, graduated from the University of Florida, and started in the financial services industry. He briefly worked in the World Trade Center in New York. He returned to Naples to form a highly specialized investment team and has gained recognition for his business successes, along with being ranked one of the USTA’s top 4.0 men’s tennis players in the state.
