About our guest speaker, Scott Snider:

WOODY HAYES FAMOUSLY SAID, “SUCCESS - IT’S WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT.” The “money talk” is an uncomfortable subject for many people, however, one of Scott’s greatest strengths is relating to his clients in a genuine way. PARAGON’s clients gain comfort in knowing that they have a trusted advisor who will listen to them without judgment. Thereby giving them the confidence to open up about the important issues at hand and get to the root of what really matters to them.

While Scott believes “the numbers tell the story”, he also understands that everything in life can benefit from the proper context. It’s that delicate balancing act that allows Scott to help his clients remain on track toward achieving their financial goals while still maintaining their desired lifestyle.
