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.
