Meet Mark Paid

Like many, I’ve watched loved ones navigate the challenging waters of retirement, sometimes with less success than they hoped. It was seeing my own parents facing financial difficulty, even after years of hard work, that truly shifted my focus. I dedicated myself to understanding how to create a dependable income stream that allowed them to live comfortably off their principal, securing their future. That experience, turning anxiety into stability for my family, became the bedrock of why I do this work today. I realized I could help others find that same peace of mind. I am a licensed agent with NPN 1234567890. I help clients across Utah and Florida. My primary focus is on helping people secure their financial future through careful retirement planning, often leveraging fixed annuities to build steady, predictable income. Many of my clients are seasoned professionals, perhaps from technology or other demanding fields, who are looking to translate their career success into a comfortable retirement. My approach is to demystify what can feel overwhelming, providing clear, straightforward guidance. With a career spanning over 25 years as a technology executive—holding CTO, CIO, and VP roles at companies like ANNUITY.COM, Young Living Essential Oils, and Ken Garff Automotive—I've spent decades leading complex projects and building robust systems. This background instilled in me a deep commitment to strategy, risk management, and meticulous execution. I bring that same discipline to your retirement planning, ensuring every detail is considered, from budget oversight to long-term operational scale. When we work together, you'll find a partner who listens intently to your specific needs and goals, then crafts solutions designed to meet them. I also speak Spanish, so I can serve a broader community with the same personalized care. Outside of work, you might find me enjoying the local flavors at Wasatch Grill or Costa Vida, or perhaps even taking a dip in the Crater in Midway. It’s a joy to be part of the Salt Lake City community, and I value the trust my neighbors place in me. I believe everyone deserves a retirement where they don't have to worry about running out of money, and I’m here to help you build that reality.
