I have been in the financial services industry for over thirty plus years. Started at IDS in the 80s, then a stint as an investment banker in Milwaukee at the M&I bank, then to the Principal Finacial for 15 years, and LPL for nearly 6 years. Recently moved to Ameriprise (formerly IDS), returning to my roots. The support of financial and retirement plans at Ameriprise is phenomenal, a plus for my current and future clients. As part of my duties as a financial advisor, I have recently published a non-fiction book entitled Reconfigurement™. It is about finance of course, financial planning, money management, annuities and life insurance to be sure. But also career tests, social security and much more. It offers wit and appropriate jokes to make it an enjoyable read. The reviews have been beyond my wildest dreams and is available on Amazon under E. Alan Fleischauer. Also, Reconfigurement.com is my Ameriprise Website.
