Craig Telaroli, Founder/CEO of Summit Advisors, began his career journey as a real estate enthusiast, and quickly developed skills in purchasing and property management. Over the last decade, he widened his successes to include consulting and small business entrepreneurship. Having built a secure portfolio, Craig transitioned his acquired knowledge and skills to the Insurance and Financial Industry, where he shares his expertise to help his clients achieve their own financial security and dreams for their retirement years.

“A lot of people like to make financial advising difficult and complex for their customers,” says Craig. “That’s not us. And it’s not at all necessary. We listen carefully and deeply to each individual in order to assess their specific financial circumstances. Then we work with them to design a financial plan that they are comfortable with and that secures income for their future—plain and simple.”

Away from the office, Craig stays involved in his local church and with charity activities such as a Secret Santa program for needy families. He served two-year sabbatical in Italy and also donated more than 18,000 hours of his time to AmeriCorps and their efforts to strengthen and improve communities. In his free time, Craig is an avid sportsman who enjoys hunting, snowmobiling, boating, skydiving, rock climbing and riding dirt bikes, among other activities.
