About David Treece

David began his career in financial services in 2011 and has spent over a decade helping people navigate the complexities of retirement. After gaining experience at two firms, he founded Clients Excel in 2018 with a clear mission:

He holds a Bachelor of Science from Liberty University, is a Series 65 investment adviser, and is licensed in health and life insurance across multiple states.

David also shares ongoing insights through a weekly newsletter designed to bring clarity and perspective to retirement planning.
