How Dan is building a better working world 

“Research is clear that financial stress and anxiety leads to employee distraction and decreased productivity. By educating employees on the fundamentals of financial planning, benefit usage and money management, and providing access to personalized, objective and comprehensive financial planning resources, we can change lives while building a better working world. 

“I have personally educated over 40,000 client employees, while leading a team that reaches many thousands more annually. This personal touch often begins a lifelong journey of financial wellness and informed, impactful company benefit and money-related decisions.”
