Life and Career<\/h2>\n

Rich Groff II began his career in the financial industry while still in college, though his interest in money matters goes back even further. Since the tender age of eight, Rich has been investing and learned early that, \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily what you know but what you don\u2019t know that can cost you even more.\u201d He carries this wisdom with him to this day and has a steadfast mission to help each of his clients uncover the potentially harmful unknowns about their unique financial situation.<\/p>\n

In 1991, Rich earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Finance from Central Michigan University, and in 1994, he studied to become a Certified Financial Planner\u00ae at the College for Financial Planning in Colorado. Rich was also one of the founding stockholders of The Planners Network, Inc., an organization seeking to enhance financial advisors\u2019 expertise through on-going networking with other investment professionals across the country.<\/p>\n

In his spare time, Rich enjoys boating, waterskiing, fishing, hunting with his bow, and staying fit, as well as keeping up with the Arizona Cardinals, Central Michigan Chippewas football teams, and the University of Montana Grizzlies sports teams where his children are attending.<\/p>\n
