GORDON SCHUSTER, M.A., LUTCF^®, RICP^®

FINANCIAL SERVICES PROFESSIONAL

Gordon Schuster grew up on a small family farm in eastern Washington. Whether the job was preparing livestock for the Inland Empire Livestock show in Spokane, or building and repairing machinery, the family farm instilled a strong work ethic and attention to detail that serves him well in how he serves his clients.

Gordon attended Eastern Washington University where he met his future bride, Kathy. He graduated from EWU with both Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees. He and Kathy married June 02, 1973 and they have four children; Angela, Joshua, Bryan, and Rebecca. His early career was that of “Music Minister” in three large non-denominational churches. During that time he found there was a demand for his compositions and, in response, a new “sacred music” publishing company was born; Majestic Music Publications. Print music was distributed throughout the United States, Europe, Japan and Korea. The Majestic Music Publications catalog contains 1,500 compositions for church use. Gordon has also been active in the Wenatchee Valley Symphony. He has served as a member of the Symphony Board and also a member of the Symphony Orchestra as pianist and percussion section member for over a decade.

He joined New York Life Insurance Company in February of 1999. Since that time, he has earned the Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow and Retirement Income Certified Professional designations from the American College, Bryn Mawr, PA.

Gordon has served as Past President of the local National Association of Financial and Insurance Advisors and is a current member of NAIFA. He is also a Life and Qualifying Member of the Million Dollar Round Table. In 2019, Gordon received his Senior NYLIC award from New York Life celebrating his dedicated service for the past twenty years.

With a commitment to continuing education and an unwavering dedication to his clients, his strength is in designing and implementing comprehensive retirement plans. These plans are the result of hours of listening, study, and processing for each individual situation. Gordon believes that if a business owner or individual is going to entrust his or her financial assets and future to him as a manager and advisor, that bond or trust demands the highest moral, ethical, and professional attention possible. His clients can attest to his pro-active commitment and communication over the years.
