About

Darin has a unique path to where he is today. As a Gerontologist, Darin thought he could help retirees enjoy their golden years. Darin was right, but he also found that once you are 85 and older, it is much harder to change your present financial situation or your financial future. Many retirees find themselves in a not-so-good financial situation early in their retirement. When Darin was attending a class in Negotiations for his MBA and Masters in Dispute Resolution, a fellow student presented Long-Term Care Insurance.  Darin approached that student and found that helping people earlier in life could meet the goals Darin set as a Gerontologist. Darin still helps beneficiaries for no charge who are all alone, not having anyone to watch over their wellbeing as his way of giving back. However, Darin now leads the pre-retirement crowd in “Planning for Their Future.” I can now see my goals coming true as people are educated through our FREE financial workshops so they can understand how they are getting to their financial goals. Think of Darin as a Financial Coach who will educate you on your financial future so you can manage your money.

Darin still had a dilemma. He searched for a way to put a smile on every senior’s face while they were enjoying their Golden Years.  He discovered that the most significant issue with retirees was Healthcare.  Darin began educating Medicare beneficiaries and became their personal licensed insurance agent in assisting in Medicare options. His advocacy and education programs focused on Medicare Supplements, Medicare Advantage Plans, and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. Finally, Darin felt as if he found the Holy Grail to putting smiles on beneficiaries faces.  Darin now educates 1000s of retirees a year on their Medicare choices. Darin is always available to help anyone with their Medicare and Healthcare needs. Retirees are Darin’s true PASSION!
