Hi. I'm George Ray. I wouldn't call myself an expert on Federal employee benefits, but there are many Federal employees who have told me that I am. That's a nice compliment. (Thanks.)
What I would call myself is a seasoned traveler who's been throughout the United States conducting educational workshops for employees of many Federal agencies to help you get the most from your retirement, life, health, and other benefits provided to you by the U.S. Government. I've been to lots of different types of government facilities and buildings, and have met, worked with, and hopefully helped lots of great people.
Why do this? Well, I believe that you deserve to be able to take care of your family while you're providing service to our country, and you should also be able to retire comfortably after your service has ended. You have a valuable package of benefits that can help you to do this, but don't always get all of the information and help that you need to make the most of them.
People tell me that my superpower is being able to take complex concepts and break them into understandable pieces. A frequent comment that I receive after a program is "I've heard all this information before, but for the first time, I finally understand it after you explained it, George." That's very gratifying to me, and it's why I do what I do.
You should know that I'm a former financial adviser and Certified Financial Planner with practical experience gained from years of helping my former clients to reach their financial objectives. I no longer provide financial or investment advice, but I'm confident that my extensive knowledge of your Federal employee benefits, mixed with my practical knowledge and insights from over 30 years in the financial services industry will be valuable to you if you really want to understand your employee benefits and learn how to use them wisely.
I live in Denver, Colorado with my wife Maria. My daughter Molly recently moved to Austin, TX for her medical residency, and took our dog Beau along with her. :(
