The common thread that runs through Greg Kurinec’s life is joy in serving others.

 

As a young boy, it came in the form of helping a neighbor by shoveling snow, mowing a lawn or just bringing in their garbage cans. More recently, it was launching a not-for-profit organization that supports families affected by cancer.

 

Even better, Greg gets to apply his passion through his work. Since launching his career in 2006, he has helped people at or near retirement. through investment advising, estate planning, risk management and watching out for their overall financial well-being.

 

Greg is a graduate of Purdue University’s College of Consumer and Family Sciences, having earned degrees in Financial Planning and Counseling, as well as Selling and Sales Management.  Among the largest of its kind, the College of Consumer and Family Sciences instills in students the paramount importance of forming healthy relationships with families and consumers. 

 

Greg is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. CFP^® professionals must pass the comprehensive CFP^® Certification Examination, pass CFP Board's Fitness Standards for Candidates and Professionals Eligible for Reinstatement, agree to abide by CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility and Rules of Conduct which put clients' interests first and comply with the Financial Planning Practice Standards which spell out what clients should be able to reasonably expect from the financial planning engagement.

 

Greg has also served as an expert source and has been quoted in publications ranging from Consumer Affairs and US News and World Reports to Newsday and The Wall Street Journal.

 

In 2012, after his mother, Jeanne, lost her life to cancer, Greg founded “Jeanne’s Journey for Hope” to help other families battle the disease in its many forms. Since then, the foundation has raised nearly $100,000 to help families pay hospital and medical bills or as income replacement if the disease has resulted in a loss of employment.

Now as a US Chapter Board Secretary, he is committed to tracking the younger generation of new professionals as RFAs to RFCs to MRFCs – an imperative goal for the growth of the Association. Resonating with this young audience contributes to the long-term intent of the Association to carry on to the next generation of financial professionals.
