Peter Kizis

I’ve been in the financial industry for more than five decades. Usually by that point in someone’s career, they’re ready to retire—but I’m more interested in helping other people reach their own retirement goals. I love what I do, and even more, love seeing my clients reap the rewards of my advice. I get to make a living by helping other people make a living, and I really can’t think of any better job than that.

I was raised by a single mom in a time when that wasn’t a common story for kids, and it gave me a more empathetic perspective into other people’s struggles. I attended King’s College and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. I then served in the U.S. military before I started my financial career.

I live in Bear Creek, which is ten minutes outside of Wilkes-Barre, PA. My wife, Nadine, and I have four children—Sarah, Peter, Shawn, and Erin—and are the proud grandparents of three amazing girls: Faye, Darcy, and Iris. My family is my pride and joy.

I love to travel and read, especially on historical topics. I’m a big history junkie, especially Civil War era. I was on the YMCA board for 35 years and I’m still active with my local Rotary Club. Serving people is at the heart of what I do in my work. It was only natural to me to serve them outside of work as well.
