In 1995 Steve retired from his prior endeavors to follow his long time interest in Equity Trading. Steve was extremely successful as a trader on his own accounts and decided to use this expertise to advise seniors. During his years as a Family Therapist, Steve discovered that many of the senior population were living restricted lifestyles because they were afraid of outliving their savings. He also discovered that they were completely unaware that products existed that could give both growth and safety, simultaneously.
He decided to come out of retirement for the sole purpose of specializing in senior issues involving both financial services and lifestyle issues. He contracted with software specialists to help create proprietary systems to link a variety of investment vehicles together to help establish safe protocols for lifetime income without sacrificing growth or access to one’s account. His focus has been on helping seniors realize that investing with a plan that encompasses one’s entire situation is essential. Investing without regard to one’s overall assets, health, heirs, and goals is dangerous in that the plan is not integrated. Steve’s planning strategies involve helping people develop predictable income and growth so that they will not be afraid to use their income for the enjoyment of their senior years.
Steve is the founder of The Center For Retirement Planning, a middle Tennessee company that assists seniors with safe investing and senior planning. He is a nationally recognized speaker and has conducted hundreds of seminars throughout the southeast on senior planning, business development, safe investing, & entrepreneurship.
He hosts informative radio shows on several Tennessee stations including, WNQM and WNAH. These shows focus on senior and pre-senior Investing issues, concepts, and strategies.
