Q:
Why are retirement plan services important, especially today?
We are in a retirement crisis. Attaining a dignified retirement is challenging and professionals such as Cerity Partners can make a difference to your employees.
What kind of clients work best for you?
Companies that would like an advisor in their corner when it comes to their retirement plan benefits.
Was there a specific incident in your life that made it clear you were made for this career?
I would say it was not an instant as so much realizing I am happy at work and interested in defined contribution plans. Happy and interested can last a career.
