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.
