Randy Becker Retirement Planning Professional, Author, Founder and Co-Owner

Randy leverages his 33+ years of local experience to better serve clients and lead them toward their goals. Growing up on the Eastside, Randy got his start in the financial services industry at the age of 22 by helping people create strategies designed to cover their estate settlement costs. After watching his mom battle through 30 years of Multiple Sclerosis and seeing the financial impact on his dad, his responsibilities progressed to what he does at Becker Retirement Group today: creating strategies for clients to thrive and make sure they are protected from the potential devastation of expensive health care costs, late-in-life involuntary layoffs or from major market corrections. Randy also has a keen eye for determining ways for clients to save money, such as tax-efficient strategies. Randy and his wife, Arwen, are the proud parents of three incredible boys. He is an accomplished guitarist, both electric and acoustic, and enjoys “rocking out” locally in a couple of well-established Puget Sound area bands.
