Samuel Keck
MBA, CLU, CFP®, LUTCF
I am in the financial services business with a very unique approach; I help people find money they are losing unknowingly and unnecessarily. Unknowingly means you can be forgiven. Unnecessarily means it can be fixed.
I am from St. Joseph, Missouri and moved to Colorado in 1972 after serving five years in the United States Air Force. I am married to my beautiful life partner Mary, a Registered Nurse, and Wellness Consultant. We have three children and seven grandchildren.
I graduated from Graceland University, Iowa, where I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree with emphasis in Finance and Economics. I was also a star athlete in cross country and track & field and finished fifth in the mile run at the National Track and Field championships in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. After graduating from Graceland, I went on to complete a “master’s in business administration” Degree from Indiana University. After that I entered the Air Force and served in Michigan, Thailand and Germany as a transportation officer. While in Thailand I also taught business courses for the worldwide campus of the University of Maryland.
I have been a member of the Million Dollar Round Table for 49 years, based on sales performance and hold designations as a Chartered Life Underwriter, Certified Financial Planner and Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow. I am also an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF). I am licensed for securities and insurance in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, North Carolina, and Texas. I enjoy worldwide travel, golf, skiing, camping (if it’s a Four Seasons Resort) and spending time with my wife, children and grandchildren.
