Michael L. Cook
Michael Cook has spent more than three decades in financial services as an entrepreneur in San Antonio. He started his agency 33 years ago and understands that with retirement planning comes the potential for anxiety, as people have concerns about their money lasting the rest of their lives. His goal is to help address those anxieties and to provide planning strategies and options that help them achieve a more comfortable retirement mindset. “We chose to become independent, because that allows us to work for the client instead of the insurance company. It allows us a better approach in terms of what fits best for each individual, instead of a one-size-fits all from just one company’s product line,” Mike says.
The main focus in financial planning for our clients is specialized and proper distribution of the assets to eliminate the risk of not having enough. “We like to help take the confusion out of planning for retirement,” he says.
Mike received his business degree in economics from Sam Houston State University (SHSU). He married his high school sweetheart, Karan and they have two daughters and three grandchildren. Mike loves golfing as well as exploring the great hiking trails around the San Antonio area with Karan.
