Tim Kilpatrick

Tim has been providing financial advice for over 37 years. He first obtained an Insurance Registration in 1984, and then a Series 7 securities registration from E F Hutton in 1985. Since then, he has worked with clients at providing retirement and income solutions.

Retirement planning means more than providing clients with investment advice. It means helping them maintain the financial independence they have worked their whole lives to achieve. It means striving to ensure they have the means to pursue what is most important to them. Moreover, it means understanding them as people with unique goals, values and circumstances that determine the strategies I develop on their behalf.

Tim is married to his lovely wife Susan, and together they have raised numerous Great Danes.

Tim plays Jazz Guitar in a small Jazz Combo on weekends, to his surprise and delight.
