Meet Mark Sanders

Enthusiastic about helping you prepare for retirement, transitioning into retirement, and throughout retirement itself. 


Mark Sanders has been providing financial planning services in the greater Sacramento area since 1979. His 40 plus years of experience has laid the foundation to serve the growing needs of his clients and their families.


Mark believes that the American Dream is still alive and well and counts it an honor to help his clients work towards achieving it. The American dream is being able to devote the last third of your life to those things you never had time for during your working years. Retirement, if properly planned, can provide the time and resources that allow you to give meaning to your life, free from the stress and obligations of an everyday job. This is certainly possible for the average American, but it is not going to happen by chance alone. The life that you live in retirement is going to be governed by the choices you make today – choices that are critical to shaping your future.
 

Financial planning is one of the most important vehicles you have for working towards your retirement. The earlier that you plot a course, create a viable plan, carefully execute that plan and diligently monitor its progress, the better the outcome should be. Mark knows how hard Americans work to achieve a better life, and Mark wants to work with you, to help you create a retirement that you've been working towards.


An income that will last a lifetime, affordable health care and long-term care, protection from misfortune and liability, and a plan for the efficient distribution of your legacy are the keys to many people's financial goals. Companies are assuming less responsibility for their workers’ retirement, and meaningful Social Security benefits are in question, so it is more important than ever for individuals to take the actions necessary to ensure that their retirement needs will be met.


Mark has been a Senior Representative with the Principal® Financial Network since 2009 and carries the designations of ChFC®, CLU®, MRFC®. He is a member of NAIFA, FSP & IARFC.


Beyond his professional life, Mark has shared his life with his beloved wife Pennie since 1980, and together they have raised five wonderful children, now blessed with a joyful family of fourteen grandchildren. Surrounded by the love and laughter of his eight siblings and countless other family members, Mark truly understands the importance of strong family connections.  


Mark finds solace in the great outdoors, indulging in rounds of golf, tending to his beautiful property, and taking refreshing swims. His greatest joy, however, comes from cherished moments spent with both family and friends, especially in the delightful pursuit of chasing after his energetic grandchildren. Mark is also passionate about Thanksgiving and pie, savoring both the flavors of gratitude and the sweetness of life, one slice at a time.
