CHARLIE RUSS, MBA CLU® Financial Advisor Hunken Financial Group 225 W. Wacker Drive, Suite 400 Chicago, IL 60606 312-767-0256 charlie.russ@hunkenfinancial.com
Q: Charlie, tell us a little bit about yourself and your family. A: I’ve been in Chicago area my entire professional career. I had an enriching experience leading global consulting engagements with Price Waterhouse (now PwC) and Ernst & Young. Since I’ve always excelled at financial analysis, I enjoy my role as a financial advisor. My wife Adriana is a Doctor of Audiology at Loyola Medical Center and our son, Charlie is in fourth grade at the Lane School in Hinsdale. Q: What are you currently working on in the community? A: Education has always been a passion of mine. I’m volunteering with the grass roots committee in support of the referendum to build a new Hinsdale Middle School. We must invest in the education of our children. We must VOTE YES for HMS on Nov. 8! As a member of the DuPage County Junior Achievement Board of Directors, we helped deliver a fun and brilliant curriculum to over 500,000 children in the Chicago area last year! Q: What do your clients take away from working with you? A: Clients are like my neighbors; we talk about realistically fulfilling their dreams by considering the totality of their specific situation in order to maximize it. My relationships develop over time, building a sense of security and trust that leads to ongoing peace of mind. No two people aspire to the same purpose; but all appreciate the knowledge I share about the rules of finance and taxation. As a result, we work together to integrate all aspects of their financial life in order to make higher quality decisions about their retirement and avoid obvious traps. The result is real comfort and satisfaction as they work to realize the best for their retirement.
