Our Story
Being just like any other advisor was never an option for me because people are more than just their financial accounts. It’s important to me to really connect; to understand how you want to live your life with your family and your communities. I want to help you find wellness not only financially, but holistically. To do that, I want to learn about what makes you happy and to help you make your retirement plan look like you.
Why the different approach?
​
Very early in my career, just after graduating from college, I started selling insurance. I fell in love with it; I was good at it, and I felt I was helping people prepare for their futures. I felt valued. I had come home after a long day at work, pulled into my driveway and paused. I had a good life – or so it looked on the outside. But suddenly, in that moment, none of what I saw seemed that important. There was something missing. I had to do something different.
​
Over the last 25 years, I’ve had many coaches – in business and in fitness. I’ve read over 100 self-help books. I became a student of myself and saw something was changing in me. My focus changed; it became less about ‘stuff’ and more about experiencing life. Time is our most precious commodity, and I wanted to spend it with my wife, my family, and our friends doing things. That realization is what brought me to “un-retirement”. The acute awareness that I want to continue to be active even after I retire; which requires not only financial health, but also (and maybe even more importantly) physical and spiritual health. I want the same for my clients.
​
I began to see retirement as the beginning of a fantastic journey. Retirement is no longer about the culmination of a career; but instead leads us into a new beginning.
UN-Retire. You’ve come a long way; overcome obstacles, raised your kids, and did all the adult stuff you were supposed to do. Helping you create a plan toward realizing your un-retirement dreams is what drives me today.
