AXA Advisors

Retirement Planning Specialist

My name is Jeff West. I would like to welcome you to my Web site. I joined the organization in 1994 as a financial professional,after a two-year internship program following college. In January of 1998 I was promoted to Divisional Vice President (District Manager) of the Okemos, Michigan office and continued in that role until June of 2003. I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses build their financial futures. My business focuses on retirement funding and financial strategies both for individuals and small businesses. I am also a Registered Financial Planner with the National Football League Players Association, working with athletes and helping them with their disability income insurance, life insurance and financial planning needs. Being involved in the community is very important to me. In the past few years I helped build a house in Lansing,Michigan for Habitat for Humanity (Lansing), and taught 4th grade Junior Achievement as part of AXA Advisors global day of service. My other community activities include:

Michigan Academy of Family Physicians Foundation Sparrow Foundation (Coaches 4 Kids) Michigan State University and its Foundation Western Michigan University Gary Fund Junior Achievement Habitat for Humanity (Okemos Presbyterian Church) Mid-Michigan Children's Initiative (MSU College of Human Medicine) Okemos Education Foundation Williamston Education Foundation.

I have been awarded the title of Retirement Planning Specialist by AXA Advisors based on the receipt of a Wharton Certificate in Retirement Planning. 

 My wife and I live in Williamston, Michigan with our two daughters.

 

Certificate awarded based on completion of a training program at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
