Ed is passionate about helping people worry less about money through well-thought-out financial strategies for retirement.
Growing up, Ed was first introduced to financial services by his father, Ed Sr., an estate planning attorney, and his uncle Marty, a CPA. Both men helped individuals and families with their tax and estate planning needs. They influenced the financial principles Ed follows today as he helps clients navigate their retirement planning needs. In 2002, Ed opened his own firm, where he focuses on assisting clients to gain clarity about their financial situation before making a clear plan of action to get them where they need to be. For more than 30 years, he has specialized in helping clients enjoy a safe and secure retirement through conservative strategies that make sense for their individual situations.
“Not losing money is just as important as making money,” says Ed. “And paying too much in taxes is just another way to lose money”.
Ed is the author of the book “Retirement Blueprint: The first steps to building a better lifestyle in retirement,” which aims to help retirees and those nearing retirement build their own “financial house” and get their finances nailed down. He has also been a regular guest on AM 560 “The Answer” in Chicago. As a financial professional, Ed can offer investment and insurance products and services. He holds health and life insurance licenses in several states. He also is the owner and primary investment advisor of DFG Wealth Management, LLC, and a Certified Financial Fiduciary® CFF.

Away from the office, Ed enjoys spending time with his wife, Shannon, and their children, Eamon, Michaela and Brianna, and is actively involved in all of their extracurricular activities.
