President
Marc Hudson, founder and visionary of Hudson Wealth Management, started the Hudson Agency in 2009. Tired of how âuptightâ the retirement planning process could be, he has worked to create a unique and casual atmosphere where clients can share their goals and dreams for retirement, and see those plans come to fruition! When not inspiring his employees and clients at work, you can find him spending time with friends and family on his âTikiâ boat on the lake, exploring northern Michiganâs campgrounds, and hosting âEpicâ Holiday parties with his wife Dee and their two boys Landon and Liam. Marc lives life to the fullest, and believes a solid retirement plan allows our clients to do the same.
Financial Advisor
Sara Hornick found her true calling when she switched from a 15 year career in education to educating folks about retirement. She will be the first to tell you that teaching about a topic such as income planning is much more enjoyable than teaching Shakespeare to 16 year old students! For over a decade in financial services, her approachable yet knowledgeable demeanor makes the sometimes daunting task of planning for retirement enjoyable. (At least thatâs what she tells us) Outside of the office, Sara spends her time binge watching cooking shows and trying new recipes out on her Mom, husband Johan, and two sons, Alex and Christopher.
