About Rose Retirement
Our story
How it all started
Rose Retirement was founded to help others build a lasting legacy today that will impact their family for generations to come.
The inspiration behind our name came from John’s daughter, Lindee Rose.
Lindee is a bright young girl who loves her family, is very outgoing, and participates in local and state cheer events regularly. You may even meet her at one of Rose Retirement’s many educational workshops and community events. As a father and husband, John understands the importance of working hard to provide for his family now and working hard to make sure a well-thought-out plan is in place that will provide for his family in the future.
In the same way, John knows that helping others build a plan that protects and provides for their family is just as important. As a result, he has worked diligently to establish his practice in the heart of his community and serve them diligently as a trusted financial professional and financial educator who brings clarity to the complex topics surrounding retirement.
