I have lived in the Lehigh Valley my entire life. I grew up in Alburtis, graduated from Emmaus High School and Muhlenberg College. I married my high school sweetheart, Gail, we have 2 daughters, Julie Gehris and Elizabeth Lichtenwalner. We also have 2 grandchildren, Colin and Abigail Lichtenwalner and my son-in-law Dwight Lichtenwalner.
I am very involved with Lions Clubs. I am currently a member of the Alburtis Lions Club. I have served as the District 14K (Lehigh and Northampton Counties) treasurer for many years as well as the District Governor in 2012-2013. I have also served on the Board of Directors for Sights for Hope, 4 years as President of the Board.
I am an avid Philadelphia football and baseball fan. I have enjoyed playing softball in this area for many years. Now the only ball I hit is a golf ball, usually I hit it more than I want to in the round.
My career began with Kline Foundries in Alburtis where I rose to the position of Plant Manager. I then took a position with the Equitable Insurance company specializing in Life Insurance. I moved on to the construction supply business focusing on both residential and commercial construction and after 20 years returned to the Financial Services business.
Our business focuses on investment advise and retirement planning. The one thing the construction business taught me is that every building is unique. The same holds true for your investment or retirement plan. The plans we develop are designed based upon each client’s goals, time horizon’s and risk tolerance. We do not use cookie cutter plans. Our company’s mission statement is “We help our clients retire comfortably, and stay comfortably retired.” This can only be accomplished with individual planning.
We look forward to working with you to help you achieve your financial and retirement goals.
