OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
When Fred is not trying to figure out where the world is going and the subsequent investment ramifications, he can be found cycling the back roads of Dover or the south Florida coast. He and his wife, Beth, own two Bouviers de Flanders, a Belgian dog breed of which he is an ardent fan.
