- Personal statement: Despite tremendous advances in technology, seemingly endless ‘turn-key’ and low cost options, the challenge of investing one’s life savings to sustain themselves through retirement has become increasingly complex. I strive to simplify the process, first by collaborating with clients, and then communicating and, sometimes, educating clients using a straightforward, ‘plain English’ narrative, cultivated by my more than 40 years in the industry. Our goal at PRTG, Inc. is for clients to both understand and, just as important, feel real confidence in their retirement financial plan.
