About The Second Half Team
The Second Half Team, now a five-member group joining Merit Financial Advisors, brings deep experience serving Florida’s first responders retiring soon and already retired, as well as private-sector individuals, both retired and still working. Their team specializes in guiding clients through the complexities of both FRS and City DROP programs, the FRS Investment Plan, and various city-specific pension systems. They understand the unique challenges first responders face, from coordinating retirement benefits with overtime and union considerations to planning for early retirement and survivor benefits. With a comprehensive approach to financial planning, wealth management, and retirement coordination, they offer support for pension/DROP paperwork, proactive communication, and personalized guidance to help clients confidently navigate life’s second half.
