2025 Spring Newsletter: Salt Lake City

It’s the best time of the year:  baseball season! 

Not only has my favorite (though usually heartbreaking) team, the Boston Red Sox, started playing, but high school baseball season has started, and my 12-year-old son has already played over 20 games this year.  I live for this!  I’m an assistant coach for both my son’s team and for our local high school baseball team.  Between those two jobs and my actual, real-life, full-time job, as you all know me, it’s a juggling act.  I’m incredibly lucky to have a supportive wife who helps keep everything in order.  And it doesn’t hurt that my daughter’s cheer team has March and April off. 

We celebrated my daughter, Coraline, and her high school cheer team at their end-of-season banquet last month.  It’s hard to believe she is nearly halfway through high school.  She’s getting ready to try out for next year’s cheer squad – she’ll be a Junior next year, which I truly cannot wrap my head around.  In February my wife and I traveled to Anaheim, California to support Coraline and her cheer team as they competed and WON on the national stage.  All of that hard work (and early mornings!) paid off.

My son, Michael, was invited to Huntington Beach, California last month to play some baseball as part of a national showcase.  It was an honor for him just to be invited.  He got to spend two days playing baseball with a bunch of 12-year-olds and coaches he’d never met.  He had a great experience, made some new friends, and had a lot of fun.  He also got a chance to show those Cali kids how this Utah boy throws a nasty knuckle ball!

Between all the baseball and cheer and travel and family events, my focus remains on Elevated Retirement Group and our wonderful clients.  We know the market and the headlines lately have seemed overwhelming and heavy at times.  Baseball season or not, we at ERG are here for you, to answer any questions you may have, or to discuss your concerns.  The most important thing to remember:  don’t panic.  If you’re feeling uncertain, pick up the phone and give us a call.  We do not have a crystal ball to predict the future, but we will help guide you.

Now….  Let’s play ball!
