Born of Polish Heritage, he started his working career at age 11 on a farm, learning the core values of life. He worked his way through high school and college and knows first-hand what it is to work hard, overcome challenges, and persevere.

Gary has worked directly with pre-retirees and retirees, business owners, and professionals, providing alternative safe solutions for their retirement needs.

His expertise surrounds the Three Pillars of Retirement Planning:

• Protect
• Preserve
• Distribute a person’s assets using sound and safe money strategies.

What makes Gary extraordinary is, in addition to being a Retirement Income Specialist, he is a licensed funeral director & preplanning specialist who has specialized in advance funeral planning for the past 26 years. Gary assists individuals and families with estate planning, so those left behind are not burdened with making all the decisions that need to be made when grieving.
