| Gene Rubino |
Gene Rubino is truly a native son of Stamford. Often referred to as Mr. Stamford, because of his love, involvement and support of the City, Gene grew up in Glenbrook, attended Stamford High and then went on to attend Tampa University and the University of Cincinnati.
In 1970, he founded Plaza Realty, the first full-service real estate company in the Stamford area and now the largest management company in Fairfield County. Under his leadership the company introduced a spectrum of specialized services that have since set new standards of professional excellence in the industry.
Gene’s decades of dedicated community service in Stamford are reflected in a wide range of giving. His support of Stamford youth is often highlighted, particularly with the Stamford Youth Basketball League, of which he was a founder and a sponsor of its Upstart Division. He has served as a director, often holding executive positions, with our City’s nonprofits, including the American Red Cross, Exchange Club, Italian Center, Stamford Boys and Girls Club, Stamford YMCA and Yerwood Center. A skilled networker and fundraiser, Gene has contributed his services and support in many fund raising drives for worthy causes and for citywide events such as the Veterans’ Day Parade and July 4th fireworks. Currently, Gene serves on the Yale University School of Medicine Eye Center Advisory Board and is a member of the State Street Debating Society.
Gene and his wife Day live in the Newfield area of Stamford.
