OUR TEAM

Marc Hudson

President
Marc Hudson, founder and visionary of Hudson Wealth Management, started the Hudson Agency in 2009. Tired of how “uptight” 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 “Tiki” boat on the lake, exploring northern Michigan’s campgrounds, and hosting “Epic” 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.

Sara Hornick

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 that’s 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.

Timothy Alfieri

Financial Advisor
Tim Alfieri is a Traverse City native who has a strong passion for helping folks make the most of their retirement. There is no problem that Tim can’t solve! His knowledge and creativity in the financial field ensures his clients will receive a planning process unlike others in the industry. Tim’s passions in life don’t stop when he leaves the office. Tim is a die hard Lions’ fan, attending games when he can (I know, we all have our faults) and loves spending time outdoors with his better half Sara, and three kids Ella, Liam and Kynslee.

John Kohout

Financial Advisor
John Kohout is a Traverse City native who began his career in the hospitality industry. He took his passion for helping people and transitioned into the financial service industry where he goes above and beyond to help folks prepare and enjoy their retirement. Outside of the office, you will find John enjoying northern Michigan by hiking and paddle boarding. The loves of his life are his wife Lexa and their “baby” Riggs, who happens to be the most spoiled dog known to mankind!

Samantha Arbenowske

Marketing & Client Relations Director Samantha is a Traverse City native and graduated from Elk Rapids High School. She is well known for always going above and beyond to make sure that everyone around her is happy. Outside the office, you will find her outdoors, surrounded by her husband and their 2 boys, with her camera around her neck. On the weekends, Samantha runs her own photography business, specializing in small intimate weddings and is also an Affiliated Photographer and Digital Retouch Artist with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.

Dylan Kennedy

Business Development Vice President
Dylan is a Traverse City native, and a graduate from Michigan State. He loves the game of golf, and spends his free time doing that as well as chasing his dog Sadie around outdoors in beautiful Northern Michigan. His desire to devote his career to helping tradesmen came from watching his father work long hours in the trade as an electrician. He found that there was a need for a resource for tradesmen in the area, to help with mapping out and clarifying retirement. By getting to know many contractors and learning the challenges they face, he is able to be that missing link.

Casey Adams

Insurance Advisor
Casey is a quiet, kind person who believes he has a great sense of humor. (The rest of us tend to groan a lot at his jokes!) He enjoys losing bar trivia games, drinking a “good cup o’ joe,” and kayaking. Casey’s has an endless thirst for knowledge, and truly enjoys growing himself and passing it down to others. His passion is leaving the world a better place than he found it (we think it is better just because he’s in it!)

Brandon Iaconelli

Senior Insurance Advisor
Brandon is a Traverse City Native, who began his career in the Hospitality Industry. He is passionate about being a great resource for folks nearing retirement. When not at the office, you can find him cooking and spending time exploring all that Northern Michigan has to offer with his beautiful wife and family.
