Flick Financial advisor, Gibson McCracken, has dedicted his career to informing educators and assisting them in finding the best retirement solutions to fit their goals.  After witnessing significant gaps in education around teacher pensions and retirement planning, Gibson identified a problem, and set out to create a solution. His weekly newsletter, The Teacher Tribune, incorporates teacher-specific planning and comprehensive strategies to guide educators towards more informed, low-fee options.
