Eddie has been in the financial industry for over 15 years. He spent part of that time as a bank manager, working closely with business owners and individuals.
Navigating thru the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requirements can be overwhelming and confusing for a 401(K)-plan sponsor. Knowing and understanding your responsibilities can help protect the company from corporate liability.
As an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®), Eddie's goal is to provide the resources a plan sponsor needs in order to help them gain a deeper understanding of their fiduciary responsibilities. Eddie can also assist a plan sponsor with a need’s analysis for their current 401(k) plan that will highlight your plans efficiencies and identify any areas that need attention. If this is the first time you have heard the phrase “fiduciary responsibilities” as a 401(k)-plan sponsor, we should meet.
Eddie was born and raised in California. He ventured to Arizona with his family to advance his career in finance starting with banking. Eddie has served in a variety of roles, each of which he credits for developing his skills in becoming an excellent relationship manager. Prior to achieving his goal of becoming a financial advisor, he served as a bank branch manager and private banker.
Eddie enjoys spending time with his wife Celyna and children, especially advancing his daughter’s basketball passion, as well as enjoying a beer with friends; every now and then.
