Seth Tobias

Tobias was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[2] on April 8, 1963 and had four brothers, Samuel, Spence, Scott and Joshua.[3] He was raised in Plymouth Meeting[4] and graduated from Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School and from Boston University with a B.A. in finance.[5]

He was the president of Circle T Partners, a company he founded in 1996 at age 32 after working for five years as portfolio manager and equity trader at JRO Associates.[6]

Tobias' career began by processing trades for a then-unknown portfolio manager named Jim Cramer, who went on to host "Mad Money." Tobias impressed Cramer, but the job didn't last long. Tobias traded up to a position with the much larger JRO Associates hedge fund. Five years later, Tobias headed out on his own.[7]

Tobias' first wife was Tricia Zocchi of South Jersey.[8] At the time of his death, he was married to Filomena Tobias.[9][10]
