Anthony Engrassia,ChFC, LUTCF, CFF

Tony Engrassia founded Wealth Management Strategies, Inc. to provide independent, fee-based financial planning and wealth management to his clients. Tony and his family moved to the Rocky Mount, NC area in 1991, and his deep roots in the community and strong commitment to its people help him offer tax-efficient strategies for preserving and growing family wealth that has a very personal, customized touch for his clients. Tony is also the creator of the Strategic Freedom Process™, a process that helps his clients develop strategies, so they can enjoy greater personal and financial opportunities during retirement.

One of Tony’s primary goals as a Financial Planner is to help his clients manage risks. Many of his clients are at or near retirement, and Tony uses a holistic approach to help them understand the three major risks they’ll face in retirement—market risk, interest rate risk and sequence of return risk. These pieces in hand, together they can map out a retirement plan designed to meet their goals and help ensures they’ll have income distribution for life.

After nearly thirty years of serving clients in the Rocky Mount area, Tony has recently expanded to the Morehead City, NC area as well, and his commitment remains the same—he works with his clients to help ensure they will have income to meet their needs throughout their retirement. He has also gained respect and recognition through his thought leadership as an author of the book Promises Kept and as a financial columnist with the Rocky Mount Telegram. He also gives back to his community through his affiliation with The American Financial Educational Alliance (AFEA), a non-profit financial wellness program, where Tony provides workshops to educate and empower Americans in their financial lives.

Tony attended the University of South Florida where he received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology and a minor Business Administration. In furthering his professional career, he earned a Chartered Financial Consultant^® (ChFC^®) designation and is a Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow^® (LUTCF^®). Most recently, Tony became a Certified Financial Fiduciary^® (CFF) and also achieved his NSSA Advisor Certificate, this has made Tony qualified to help retirees select the best time to access Social Security Benefits . In addition, Tony has his Series 65 securities license. He also has his life and health insurance licenses. In addition, Tony has been recognized by his peers and been named to the Million Dollar Roundtable for his achievements as an advisor.

Ralph L. Gale, Jr CLTC, CFF

Ralph Gale has been helping people with their financial and protection needs since 1987. Ralph

began his career with Combined Insurance he soon realized that his clients didn’t fit into a

“cookie cutter” approach. Ralph moved to Prudential Insurance and began the investment side

of his practice. Following the recession of the 90’s his position was eliminated and he was

offered a Comptroller's position for a business in Florida overseeing the finance and insurance

division

Ralph migrated back to West Michigan and began building a team dedicated to providing

accurate investment and protection advice to seniors. While building a successful team was

gratifying his desire to stay hands on with his clients drove him to step down from that position

and formed “FIREProof Wealth Management LLC”. Insisting on the highest level of integrity and

accuracy, isn’t the Gold Standard, It’s the ONLY Standard!

Ralph’s approach is simple. Everybody’s situation is unique so a “cookie cutter” approach is an

insult to his clients. Your situation is yours and only you understand it and can communicate it

properly so it is up to us to help you tell us your perfect retirement then hope for the best and

plan for the rest.

Your investments are only a way to pay for your plan they are not your plan. We strive to make

your investments and protection fit perfectly into your puzzle.

Ralph spent time in discussions with many of the major brokerage firms and decided like he had

many years before that being independent would be the only way to insure his clients that the

advice they would be receiving wasn’t corporate policy or somebody in an office somewhere.

Ralph is local his advice is based on local conditions.

Ralph and Kay have been married for 22 years have two beautiful daughters ( just ask him).

Ralph and Kay attend Ada Bible where he has lead a Men’s small group study for 6 years.

Ralph knows that it’s either true or it’s false there is no gray. Therefore the answers you get to

your questions and concerns will always be true.
