The Golden Rule is both Scott’s business and life philosophy. The genuine care and concern he has for his clients, combined with his knowledge and expertise, has gained him loyalty among his clients. As a result, they continually refer business to him that now reaches beyond our local area. Scott enjoys working with his newer clientele as well as his clients from 25 years ago.
What makes Premier Retirement Asset Management different from most firms is that we are an independent financial firm that takes a unique one stop approach, which combines multiple fields of expertise, the financial advisor, accountant and attorney all under one roof with the shared mission of enhancing our client’s financial goals.
