Stephen’s Full Bio | Stephen's Speaker Bio
Steve began his 30-plus year career in the financial-services industry focusing on retirement-plan design, IRS/DOL compliance solutions, participant/employee education, and distribution strategies. Today, he uses MIT AgeLab research to help financial professionals and their clients anticipate and overcome the challenges of aging and retirement. This took on a whole new meaning for Steve after he suffered a stroke in 2018. Experiencing his own unforeseen, life-changing event brought home the importance of preparing clients for the unexpected.

For more than a decade, we’ve partnered with the MIT AgeLab to uncover what investors are thinking about lifestyle trends, who they trust, and the future of retirement—all of which influence their decision-making process. Our advisor consultants can provide coaching to help you deepen relationships with clients by applying AgeLab research and tools to your practice.
