Retirement Planning
As a longtime Thrivent member, I appreciate my role as a financial advisor. I understand how important planning for the future is to ensure one’s overall financial security.
My passion for helping people be wise with money stems from helping my aging parents make crucial financial decisions. It was during this time that I discovered how important it is to bring families together and establish a financial plan that takes into account the various needs we encounter as we age.
God has blessed me abundantly with a fantastic family that has been with me through the ups and downs in life. My wife and I have been married for 40+ years. We have two married children and love spending time with our grandchildren. I understand the need to safeguard your family’s financial security throughout all stages of life because I had to walk through those important decisions for my own family.
I specialize in planning areas like:
- Long-term care planning (CLTC®)
- Tax efficient legacy planning
- Strategic retirement income planning (RICP®)
- Generosity planning
- Comprehensive planning and advice through Dedicated Planning Services
- Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA)
I look forward to partnering with you in establishing your legacy.
Whether you are near our Sarasota Office or our Port Charlotte Office, let us serve you. We believe that money is not a goal, but a tool to make a Kingdom impact. Let us partner with you in establishing your Christ-centered legacy. Feel free to get to know us a little more at https://connect.thrivent.com/agape-financial-associates
