Tom Villeneuve Biography
Owner/Educator/Retirement Coach
I live in the small town of Hancock, New Hampshire in the Monadnock region with my lovely wife Kathleen where we have many friends and good neighbors. Our beautiful daughter Claire (she takes after her mother!) lives in Keene where she brightens the lives of many people. Living in a small town, I was able to join the volunteer fire department, and I found great joy and fulfillment in serving and helping others in very unusual and crazy circumstances for 10 years. I used this passion with New York Life Insurance Company helping clients and then teaching and training advisors in the Philadelphia area for six years. Being “country people” at heart, we moved back to Hancock to our friends and family.
I think most large companies have some good people working for them. But upper management has often lost all sense of what is ethical and right. They usually put profits over the best interest of clients and the employees. The spirit of serving others and treating clients “like you would like to be treated” is gone from the larger companies.
In 2019, Kathleen got sick, and the time was perfect for me to start Monadnock Retirement Solutions, LLC a Registered Investment Advisor in the State of New Hampshire. I am Licensed and able to work in all New England states and many others.
This enables me to serve the best interests of my clients without any outside influence by management. Being fully independent I'm not restricted to just the products and services offered by the company but can use the best that fits my client needs. Working from a home office significantly reduces my overhead costs, enabling me to offer clients reduced fees. Plus, my clients benefit from the latest and best technology and services available for their planning.
I can honestly say I put my client’s interest first even if that means I don't make as much or any money. According to my wife, Kathleen, you should work with me because I have a wealth of information and am dedicated to helping you do what's right for you. Plus, I will be able to answer your unique questions from my varied experience.
