Carson has spent almost two decades as a decorated Financial Service Professional and now uses his comprehensive retirement knowledge to help EDUCATE consumers on complex retirement issues they might face during their retirement years.

  • Coordinated - We realize that changes in one area of your plan often impact other areas. Coordination with other experts is essential.
  • Communicative - We maintain constant communication and shared understanding with all members of our advisory team, and especially, with you to make sure you stay on track throughout your retirement years.

What We Offer

We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your tolerance for risk. 

Social Security Maximization

Social Security Maximization

Most of my clients imagine triggering their Social Security benefits at one of three ages:

  • Age 62
  • Age 66, or Full Retirement Age (FRA)
  • Age 70

Unfortunately, in nearly every circumstance, none of these three ages will actually get them their maximum lifetime benefit.

Instead, your maximum lifetime benefit is found by running over 20,000 calculations and exploring advanced strategies.

Your customized Social Security Maximization report will let you know when and how to file for benefits to achieve your maximum lifetime income.
