ROBBIE & MAX SIEGELMAN
Family Legacy Brand Award

Robbie Siegelman was born and raised on Long Island, where he still lives today. He graduated from The Wheatley School in Old Westbury, N.Y., and Jacksonville University in Florida. His love for horses began with summer jobs at Roosevelt Raceway, where he groomed and exercised racehorses.


After college, Robbie returned to Long Island as Assistant Trainer for the Abbatiello Brothers’ renowned harness racing stable. He launched his own stable in 1982, later relocating to the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey in the early 1990s.


At the Meadowlands, Robbie became active in community outreach, creating “Hands On,” a program introducing inner-city Newark youth to horse care and racing. He also launched “Horses with Hearts,” in partnership with Hackensack Hospital, offering pediatric cancer patients visits to his barn, race outings, and access to local sports events at the Meadowlands.


When HorseAbility moved to SUNY Old Westbury, near Robbie’s home, he connected with founder Katie McGowan to start a driving program for veterans and individuals with special needs. Now retired, Robbie still manages a few horses but spends much of his time at HorseAbility, caring for the herd and giving lessons.


Robbie has been married to Louise, whom he met in college, for 40 years. Louise recently retired after a long career at ABC Sports and ESPN. They have two sons, Jesse and Max. Jesse works at Barclays Capital, and Max is a strategist and entrepreneur known for creating culturally impactful brands.


As the son of a horse trainer, Max grew up immersed in harness racing. Blending his equestrian roots with contemporary fashion, Max launched Siegelman Stable, a luxury sportswear brand that supports equine therapy in 2020. Under his leadership, Siegelman Stable has expanded from a niche headwear line to a full lifestyle brand, gaining recognition through high-profile collaborations at the intersection of fashion, culture, and sports. Before creating Siegelman Stables, Max spent a decade at OUTFRONT Media, establishing its social media and cultural relevance divisions, and founded his own consultancy, collaborating with global brands, artists, athletes, and designers.

MED SPA

Jason Sichel

After working behind the scenes as an entrepreneiur in the health industry for 20 years, Jason Sichel was inspired to get involved in non-surgical procedures when he saw how it helped people build their confidence and self-esteem. With that, in 2023 Timeless Body was established by Jason and today it is a premier Medical Spa which is committed to redefining aesthetic medicine through innovation, expertise, and exceptional patient care.


Their journey began in Hauppauge, where they introduced a full spectrum of advanced laser services, including laser hair removal, skin tightening, microneedling, muscle toning, and tattoo and acne removal. From the beginning, their mission has been to combine state-of-the-art technology with the highest standards of safety and results-driven care.


In October 2024, they expanded into Garden City with a second, state-of-the-art facility featuring three fully equipped treatment suites and a distinguished team of four board-certified physicians. This location broadened their offerings to include hair transplants, cellulite removal, and surgical skin tightening. They are also proud to be among the select few practices on Long Island to provide BeautiFill liposuction and fat transfer, as well as being recognized leaders in stem cell transfer, where their success rates have set a new standard in the field.



As they look to the future, Timeless Body is preparing for significant expansion with new locations planned for the East End of Long Island, Manhattan, and Miami. These destinations will feature the full breath of advanced plastic surgery procedures, including facelifts, breast enhancements, reconstructions, Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), and more. With each new chapter, their vision remains clear: to deliver the most comprehensive and transformative aesthetic services available, tailored to the unique goals and desires of every patient we serve.
