About Me:: I am married to a beautiful woman by the name of Nanci. I am still involved in baseball, by officiating.

What Are You Doing Now?: I am the Chief Financial Officer for Pearlman's Fine Jewelers in Battle Creek. It is the most incredible work I have ever had outside of baseball.

I think about my family first and the long term benefits. So I moved to Wyoming and took the State job as a corrections officer. The salary is great but it was the pension, health benefits, and the 457 Deferred Compensation plan that were the deciding factor. There is no State taxes. the pension is 65% of your highest salaried pay year (retire in 20 years), and the 457 is profitable (like all investment options it has risk). With the 457 the state matches what I put in. I talked with a lot of the state employees (execs., directors, mangers) and took the most consistent and most mentioned investments. I'll track them myself but I just needed a few pointers and tips. It was a difficult to leave my family but it was a 'necessary sacrifice' that will pay off (literally) in the long run.
