Milo Milosevich has been in the financial services industry since 2001 both as a financial planner and as an Executive for a major insurance company. He understands the inner workings of the various investment strategies we employ. Milo believes that everyone should have the very best tools for planning their financial future no matter their current situation. This was instilled by watching his parents struggle as hard-working teachers and administrators, and not receiving solid advice from advisors that were looking for larger clients.
Milo attended Texas A&M University where he was active in sports and continues to support his Alma Mater today.  Milo holds an Insurance license in Arizona as well as many other states. When he is not working, he is enjoying coaching T-Ball for the City of Peoria, golfing, or relaxing by the pool.
