About Bruce J. Smith III

My career started in 1978 in the U.S. Navy’s nuclear power program, aboard fleet ballistic-missile submarines. Then came the cleanup at Three Mile Island and work at Peach Bottom. That is where I learned that the details nobody notices are usually the ones that matter most.

In 1986 I left nuclear power and founded my own firm. Over 40 years in financial services I worked my way from broker to vice chairman of a public broker-dealer, served on advisory boards for insurance and investment companies, and for more than 30 years have worked as a fiduciary, legally obligated to put clients’ interests first. I have spent more than 50,000 hours inside other families’ retirement plans.

Along the way I became a teacher and a voice. I hosted a financial radio show for 28 years, most of it as Get MORE Retirement®, along with television, video podcasts and other media. I wrote the Inside Your Retirement education series, including an Amazon #1 Best Seller in 2018, and brought the Flat Fee Revolution™ to Florida on a simple idea: what you pay for advice should not double just because your portfolio does.

Today I live in The Villages and lead The WealthKare Investment Centers, an SEC-registered investment adviser with offices in Florida and Pennsylvania. I meet with four new families a week, because I enjoy it.
