When Carson was a child, he wanted to be a carpenter when he grew up. Although he may not be building with wood today, he is helping his clients build strong retirement funds in order to have peace of mind for the future. In fact, Carson's favorite part of being a retirement investor is meeting new people and ultimately being able to strengthen their financial future.
