Stephen J. Resch, VP Retirement Strategies, Finance of America Reverse
As VP of Retirement Strategies at Finance of America Reverse, Steve leads the education and training programs for financial professionals about the role of home equity and reverse mortgages within a comprehensive financial plan. Steve’s career in financial services spans over 30 years, first as a fixed income analyst, and for the past 25 years as a partner in a wealth management firm. Throughout his career, he has incorporated strategies to protect and grow client assets by managing risks.
When introduced to reverse mortgages in the early 2000’s, Steve realized that these were not just loans, but rather an opportunity to add home equity to the financial planning process, providing further safeguards for his clients to ensure their financial longevity. Since that time he has helped hundreds of financial advisors do the same for their clients.
Steve is a subject expert source and a frequent speaker at both national and regional professional conferences and has been quoted in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, The Street.com, and other publications.

Mike Caffrey
Bio – Michael was raised in Tucson AZ. He was recruited by Duncan Toys as their youngest Touring Yo-Yo Professional at 18. Michael created Yo-Yo Crazes in Cities from San Francisco to NYC and more than a dozen cities in-between. Later, while enrolled in the Univ. of AZ’s Business Program, he invented and patented the world’s first “Smart Yo-Yo” (containing a centrifugal clutch) it is referred to as “The Brain.” When Toy-Agents couldn’t place the item with a Manufacturer, Michael founded Yomega Corp. in 1985. Yomega quickly became the largest Yo-Yo Manufacturer in the World.
Michael has also worked with some of the biggest Game Companies. As a Product Manager for Milton Bradley, he launched two or three new TV-promoted games every year, but it was while working as Sr. VP of Marketing for “ScreenLife” that Michael helped launched the game “Scene It?” in 2003 and by 2005 – it became “Toy Industry – Game of the Year”.
Michael retired from the Toy/Game Industry while he was in his late-forties, but after a few years, boredom set in. He launched a successful career in the Insurance/Financial Industry. AFLAC provided Michael an opportunity to meet business owners all over Southern AZ. He topped the lists for “New Groups Opened in 2014, 2015 and 2016.” Most recently, he joined forces with MassMutual where he acts as a Financial Advisor – who can throw a Spin Top, a Frisbee or a Yo-Yo!

Lincoln Kennedy Bio
@Lkennedy72 Twitter
Football Career
Lincoln was an All-American football player at the University of Washington where he became the most decorated offensive lineman in UW’s football history. He was named to the Husky Hall of Fame in 2007 and just recently named to the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 2015. Lincoln was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons (93-95) in the 1993 NFL Draft #9 overall. He then had a successful pro career that spanned 12 years where he was named All-Pro twice and went to the Pro-Bowl 3 times. Most of his playing years were with the Oakland Raiders (96-2004).
Professional Advancement
Since retiring from the NFL, he’s been a broadcaster. In 2004- April 2005 he worked for the NFL Network alongside Rich Eisen and the network lead show Total Access. After leaving the NFL Network he began working with Fox Sports Radio where he has been hosting shows and covering various sporting events, from football games to NASCAR events. Currently, he is on a nationally syndicated show with co-host Anthony Gargano. He and his (sometimes various) partners talk about the latest topics from all sports. He is currently providing color commentary and studio analysis for college football with Pac-12 Network and Oakland Raiders football games with The Oakland Raiders Radio Network. Lincoln has also been on TV shows like Arliss (HBO 2000), Two and a Half Men (CBS 2005) and has done a guest appearance in the movie The Marine. Lincoln has also hosted and been an MC for various charity events including Fred Biletnikoff’s Foundations dinners and events. Lincoln still travels around the country today giving motivational speeches to businesses and children.
In 2018, Lincoln partnered with Gateway Financial Advisors, Inc. and Gateway Insurance Group, Inc. a national, independent financial firm with a focus on insurance and investments. This was a natural transition for Lincoln because he is also a licensed insurance producer and former insurance agent. Lincoln’s interest in the financial industry developed as he witnessed many of his NFL colleagues, and other professional athletes, struggling to get approved for coverage like life insurance due to their athletic physique, or injury history, not conforming to the underwriting guidelines insurance companies use. Lincoln knew there had to be a solution for these individuals and was passionate about helping his connections. Because Gateway is independent, Lincoln can refer business to agents who are licensed in many different states, with many different carriers; this opens a new world of possibilities and solutions for Lincoln’s connections. Lincoln understands the importance of insurance and fiscal responsibility and is a great advocate and center of influence for Gateway.
Personal History
Lincoln earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in Communications from the University of Washington. Lincoln has always wanted to be a visible and consistent contributor to his community. He has, and always will, value the community’s well-being and growth. He is the current president of Arizona’s Chapter of Former NFL Players and also serves on the Executive Board for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley where he has chaired the marketing division. He is currently working on several other projects he hopes will bring the community closer and provides ways for them to better themselves.
Growing up in San Diego, Lincoln and his family moved to Phoenix in 2006. Lincoln has two sons Tavon and Tye and is currently raising his niece, Kali. Lincoln thoroughly enjoys spending time with his family. Along with raising his boys he enjoys listening to jazz, smoking cigars and enjoying life. He now enjoys being an entrepreneur owning a cigar business where he has created his own blend of cigars. The name of the company is El-K Cigars.
