Zack began his career in Asheville, NC in a small family business co-founded and run by his father, George Self. He served as account manager and copywriter for some of the nation's largest financial, industrial and technology companies, and later, high-tech startups. Along the way Zack married, became a father, managed and sold rental properties, heard countless tragic stories from clients and colleagues unprepared for retirement, cared for aged, loved ones, and endured more than his fair share of "puppy days." ​Now he brings his business focus and personal experience to bear with practical financial solutions for people only vaguely aware of what retirement or unexpected illness will mean to them and their families.Zack is an agent licensed to sell insurance through Bankers Life and Casualty Company. He is acting as an agent and the views expressed are his own and not that of Bankers Life.If you are older than 50, you and Zack should meet.
