My name is Brandon Rickrode. I specialize in helping Americans financially prepare for retirement with the proper use of annuities. I help clients all over the country find ways to generate more retirement income and see how to securely protect their money during these turbulent times.
Despite the current volatility in the market and the elevated interest rate environment, there are still strategies that you can put in place right now to ensure that you do not run out of income and keep your money securely protected from future market downturns.
While most financial advisors are more than happy to provide you with investment tips and growth opportunities for your portfolio, few financial professionals know how to actually convert your savings into a long-term, sustainable income and protect your money, so that you can spend with confidence when you retire.
My work focuses on annuity-based retirement planning, including guaranteed income strategies, safe growth solutions, and retirement income planning. My typical clients are pre-retirees and retirees who want to protect their savings, create a reliable income, and gain real confidence in their financial future. What I enjoy most is simplifying complex financial concepts and helping clients understand how annuities can fit into a broader retirement strategy to provide lasting stability and peace of mind.
I was drawn to this work because I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate important life decisions, and I’ve seen firsthand how much confusion surrounds annuities and retirement income. Helping clients move from uncertainty to clarity is what drives me every day. As both a retirement planning professional and an active firefighter, putting people first has always been at the core of everything I do.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife of over 15 years and our son. We love traveling, fishing, and creating new experiences together as a family. One quote I return to often is, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” It reflects exactly how I approach every client relationship.
While I am currently living in Florida, through our advanced technology systems, it is possible for me to meet “face-to-face” online with my clients, as well as share computer screens so that we are all on the same page. I can show you first-hand how various income strategies may work for you and your specific goals.
I do my best to take the mystery out of annuities by answering some of the most asked questions in a simple, personalized way. All my meetings are conducted over the phone and virtually, which means you do not need to leave your home or have to visit me in my office.
Feel free to reach out to me when you are looking for your retirement planning guidance and annuity recommendations. I will be glad to help you reach your retirement goals.
Sincerely,
Brandon Rickrode
