Retirement Risk Managers

Navigating Retirement's Challenges with Precision and Care

We take pride in shining a light on retirement’s hidden complexities and insulating you from the biggest threats to your financial future.

Ken Clark

President

Ken’s journey into the world of finance began early — he made his first stock market investment at the age of 11. At 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. While serving, Ken participated in joint training operations with the Royal Moroccan Army and completed a combat deployment to Helmand Province, Afghanistan. There, he worked alongside the Afghan Border Patrol, conducting drug and arms interdiction missions as well as operations targeting Taliban forces.

When he returned home, Ken used the GI Bill to pursue his education at Idaho State University. Still in his twenties, he channeled his entrepreneurial spirit into launching and scaling several successful ventures in the automotive and residential construction industries.

Ken entered the financial services industry in 2014 as a licensed financial advisor with an independent firm, where he rose to the role of partner by 2020. Recognizing the need for a more personalized and comprehensive approach to retirement planning, he founded Retirement Risk Managers, LLC in 2025. Through this firm, he developed the “Retire with MERIT” financial strategy. Now as a financial professional who can offer insurance and investment products and services, he enjoys helping people plan for what he calls life’s longest vacation: retirement.

As an entrepreneur, Ken realized many people excel at building wealth but often overlook planning for retirement. This insight led him to specialize in income planning that focuses on strategies that can help safeguard retirement savings from potential risks.

Ken now lives in Las Vegas and is eager to continue growing and learning new skills. He spends some of his free time studying aviation and learning Portuguese — Brazil is one of Ken’s favorite vacation destinations.
