Rich O’Leary

Retirement Income Specialist

About Me

I have been a financial industry professional for 35 years primarily in investing and wealth management. In the last few years, I have watched friends and family members enter the retirement stage of life after saving and buliding their retirement nest egg for their entire workig careers with far too much market risk. Now I am passionate about using my knowledge and experience with wealth management and asset diversification to help others understand how to build a resilient retirement plan that can provide the income they need, still grow and be safe from downside market volatility. I am dedicated to helping people know all their retirement asset options so they can feel comfortable they are making the right choices to meet their retirement goals.
