Summary
While I started out in the teaching profession (and athletic coaching) many years ago, my career path changed to Financial Financial Services in 1978 where I worked with the administration of 401(k) and other types of retirement plans. I retired from Voya Financial in 2020. After staying home for the better part of the past two years I am looking for something meaningful to do during my retirement years.
