With over 29 years of experience in the financial services industry, I have extensive knowledge in: 401(k), Pension, and Profit-Sharing plans, Group Health, Life, and Disability insurance, Section 125 (Cafeteria) plans, and Flexible Spending Accounts. My years of experience aid me in helping companies develop financial strategies to help fit their needs. My experience also allows me the knowledge to consider the cost-effectiveness and tax effects of specific products.  In my personal time, I enjoy sports, traveling and spending time with my family and friends.
