Nguyen Tran has worked in financial services since 2004. To better service his clients, he started Win Wealth Solutions in 2016 as an independent financial planning firm that partnered up with some of the best firms and solutions providers across multiple industries.

Backstory: Nguyen and his family fled Vietnam when he was a baby. His family spent 2 years in a Philippine refugee camp before making their way to America. Like most immigrants, Nguyen's parents hoped for a better life for their children. His father was an orphan at around 12 years old after witnessing the violent death of his mother, while his father died 10 years before; due to an illness. Perhaps, with better health care, they would still be alive. As a first-generation immigrant, he hopes to hear your story, hopes and dreams. His purpose is to help find a better solution to your situation. Life can change on a dime; he will provide that ear to listen, and help you show off your resiliency to adapt to those changes. His willingness to utilize technological innovations will help deliver a unique blend of expertise and care to you, your family, and your community. He will seek out learning, so he can provide you with a more effective solution.

Nguyen was raised in Modesto, California with his three brothers and one sister. Growing up with an autistic brother taught him patience, fortitude, and perseverance. He attended Calpoly Pomona, majoring in Finance and Marketing. He lived in Newport Beach after college until getting engaged and moving to Los Angeles in 2018. He now resides in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles with his wife and 2 kids. He values having an active lifestyle, running, biking, and beach flag football leagues. He has ran marathons and completed several bike races. He enjoys tinkering with the latest computer & AV tech, power tools, and gardening.

Bob began his career in Financial Services in 1979, after spending over 7 years as a

College Financial Aid Administrator. With a bird’s eye view of the financial

circumstances of a cross-section of the population, it was an easy transition in engaging

prospects in discussing their financial needs. Being a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill, with

a Degree in Math Education, and teaching math for 5 years (part-time)  at the local community college,

the "educator" basics have endured in making the financial arena aware of the instruments, strategies, and individual

applications available.  Bob has conducted agenttraining within the insurance industry

for decades. His Graduate Degree in Guidance &Counseling provides a unique background

in fostering his genuine financial counseling approach, opposed to “selling” financial services.

Bob has more than 4 decades in assisting thousands of clients. He lives in Charlotte,

with his wife Beth. He has 2 children—one an attorney, and the other who also

provides financial services—and four grandchildren. Bob stays abreast of changes in

the financial services industry, and maintains an affiliation with the top carriers, allowing

him to find the best values available for his loyal clientele. That’s why they stick with

him—honesty, objectivity, maintaining personal contact, and providing first-class service

for the best interests of his valued clients!

My name is Michael Niedbala. I am married to my wonderful wife, Anna, and have three great and successful children, Brandon, Kaley and Sara. I have lived and worked in the Tampa Bay Area since 1993. I have had extensive experience in the financial industry for all of my 37 year career. From Public Accounting, to being a Chief Financial Officer, and now, for the last 22 years a Certified Financial Fiduciary®, Certified Retirement Planner®, Certified Annuity Specialist®, Certified Senior Advisor® and Independent Financial Advisor.

I really enjoy being an independent Advisor because it provides me with the opportunity to always do what’s in the best interest of you, the client, through offering conflict-free advice. I pride myself on my ability to listen to clients’ needs and goals and develop a plan that gets them where they want to go. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I know that my clients sleep well at night because we’ve set them on the right course.

My company is Insurety Retirement & Insurance Planning. Our main philosophy is SAFE MONEY & INCOME.  It is one of conservatism, innovation, and safety for our clients. We, as a company, never, do something just to make money. We educate and help folks like yourself, to make informed decisions about your financial health and only offer advice or implement programs that benefit you and improve your position.

We always try to do the right thing, so that means that if you come to us and say we really want to do so and so, and after looking at the overall plan and seeing that it really doesn't fit, we’ll tell you we really don't think it fits. This philosophy has served me well the past 24+ years I've been in this business.

Tim Wood, Founder/Broker of SafeMoneyRetirement.com, has a passion to help educate the public about ways to protect their hard-earned retirement from market volatility and losses. He has advised successful professionals, business owners, and high net-worth individuals for over 20 years, and has always had the ability to meet with someone and make them feel comfortable. Tim's goal is to provide a safe, secure and stress-free retirement for his clients. NONE of Tim's client's have ever lost a dollar due to a market downturn because he ONLY deals in fixed products that offer complete protection from losses. This means his clients can sleep well every night, and so can he. He also offers Medicare, Group Health and Life insurance planning.

As a Certified Financial Fiduciary®, Tim ALWAYS puts his client's needs first in every situation, ensuring they have the best possible plan in place. This begins with every client by going through a thorough Fact-Finder appointment where the client's current situation is examined in detail to determine the best possible course of action to arrive at their specific desired outcome. Then the clients are thoroughly educated about the products and companies that fit their specific situation before proceeding.

Tim is also a chapter president with American Financial Education Alliance (AFEA) where he teaches financial education to the public. You can register for one of his classes at 

Tim is originally from Orlando, FL. After attending Valencia College in Orlando, he worked for the Walt Disney Company at the Magic Kingdom as an audio technician for shows and events for 6 years. When Tim left Disney he worked for the Cox Radio Group in Orlando for several years before founding CyberStorm Technologies, Inc. Tim moved his family to the mountains of Tennessee in 2007 and continued to be very successful in his radio and consulting careers, founding The Plan Advisor in 2017 in order to offer ALL of the Safe-Money Retirement products available in the market to his clients as an independent advisor. Being fully independent, he works solely in the best interests of his clients, not the insurance companies.

Tim and his beautiful wife Melissa live in Johnson City, TN and have been married for over 25 years. They have one daughter currently attending college.

As the weekly host of Safe Money Retirement Radio (www.SafeMoneyRetirementRadio.com) on-air show and podcast, Tim focuses on providing retirement strategies and solutions that explore ways to protect retirement money, increase income, and protect against potential market losses and economic volatility. He also brings into focus potential health circumstances, taxes, and those unforeseen situations that can be devastating to principal assets in retirement.

Tim enjoys fishing, hiking and golf and is an avid college football and basketball fan. Tim and his wife enjoy traveling together and "get away" as often as possible.

"As an independent broker/advisor and a Certified Financial Fiduciary®, I am able to provide for my family and make decisions in the best interests of my clients, not some insurance company. From the initial fact finder appointment to finding the best option to transferring funds, I keep things transparent and pressure-free." - Tim
