Michael Thomas
Wealth Advisor
Michael has been engaged in the financial services industry for over thirty years. After a brief career teaching Humanities, Michael entered the business world in sales and marketing in Kansas City for companies that included Business Men’s Assurance Corporation and Universal Underwriters. In 1991, he focused his career almost exclusively on wealth accumulation for retirement with an emphasis on qualified and non-qualified planning. In 1996, Michael co-founded The Resource Group, LLC. The partners and associates of The Resource Group grew the company to be one of the largest employee benefit practices in the Kansas City area. They sold the company in 2007 to Willis of North America. Michael affiliated his practice with SII Investments in 2006 where he continued serving clients and also served as Branch Manager. Leaving Willis at the end of 2015, Michael formed Retirement Income Strategies, LLC with his business partner, LaSandra Rice, and in February 2017 they combined their practice with Freestate Advisors. Michael substantially retired at the end of 2019. Michael has earned several industry recognitions and has served on the advisory councils of three different investment companies. He holds series 7, 66 and 24 securities registrations.
