Becoming a financial professional can be a difficult journey. But you’re here, which means you made it.
You survived the tornado of licensing and contracting. You made it through the dark forest of underwriting, and likely made some friends along the way. You’ve built your book of business and learned to how to manage the flying monkey’s and bad witches. We want to show you what is behind the curtain, and that not everything is as daunting as it may seem.

Tom is an author, speaker, and economist. He has been an incredibly popular industry speaker for many years and is considered by many to be THE Retirement Income Expert!

He has condensed a large chunk of his considerable knowledge into his books:

  • Retirement Income Masters: Secrets of the Pros
  • Don’t Worry, Retire Happy! Seven Steps to Retirement Security

Tom specializes in creating simple and powerful retirement solutions based on math and science – not opinions. He has the unique ability to pump up a crowd, make people laugh, and solve complex financial problems using easy-to-understand words, ideas and stories.
