I met Tracy at a very difficult time in my life. My Husband had been recently diagnosed with ALS. There were a lot of financial decisions that needed to be made and planned for. Tracy was there to help me every step of the way. He structured a safe money income plan that ensured that I will not run out of money in retirement. I have been very pleased with rates of return that I never thought I could achieve in a no risk investment. - Pat E. Business owner

Tracy has been a great blessing to me. He has always been there to help me with financial decisions and guide me on proper income distribution. In addition to having a good return on my investment, I have never lost any money due to market downturns. He is always prompt to return a call and is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with any financial services related need. - Caroldene H. Retired Business Owner

I was referred to Tracy by my Grandson. Tracy helped him qualify for a home loan so I decided to have Tracy review my portfolio. One of my main concerns was the risks associated with my current investments that were being managed by one of the national brokerage outfits. I was not familiar with the type of investments that Tracy had available .He said I would be able to receive growth from the S&P 500 without risk. I thought this was a too good to be true situation, but upon further review I discovered that this type of investment does exist. I have also been able to set up a lifetime income stream from these investments as well. Give Tracy a call, he is very easy to work with and has never pressured me to do anything. He has simply provided me with the information and advice and let me make my own decisions in my own time. - Bobbie D. Pastor

I have worked for the Postal Service for many years and never really understood my benefits package. My current advisor had no training or knowledge of my employee benefits package and OPM didn't really give me advice, they just told me what I had and what options were available. It was very refreshing to find a seasoned financial advisor like Tracy that has an intimate knowledge of the federal employee benefits system, how to get the most out of it and save me money. His book THE INFORMED FED is an easy read and very informative. Every federal employee should get a copy of this awesome book. - Sharon C. Postmaster

As I was approaching retirement from the Postal Service I started seeking someone who could make sense of my benefits and transition that into retirement. When I met with Tracy he took a lot of time to review every aspect of my finances to come up with a plan that would keep my funds safe and provide flexible income that has worked out well for me and my family. It has been a pleasure working with him and I would recommend Tracy for anyone looking for a common sense approach to retirement income planning. - Milford B. Retired Postal worker/Farmer.
