Muriel "Pepper" Harris

Too many people in communities like the one I grew up in are victims of financial illiteracy. Even my father, who was thought to be financially savvy, made a huge mistake that wasn’t discovered until his death. He told my mother that if he died, the mortgage would automatically be paid off. Unfortunately, what he purchased was an Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) policy, not mortgage protection! I  am committed to making sure things like this do not happen to those that I serve.

My focus is on financial education.   My process is to teach as well as empower my clients to improve their financial state and leave a legacy to the next generation. I actively listen as you share your goals, dreams and even your fears.  Active listening allows me to recommend solutions that are within your risk tolerance and that are in line with your big picture.  

In addition to be a member of The Good Steward Insurance and Retirement Services, I am a Financial Adviser offering investment advisory services through Eagle Strategies LLC, A Registered Investment Adviser.  I am also licensed as an Agent with New York Life Insurance Company and a Registered Representative of and offer securities products through NYLIFE Securities LLC (Member FINRA/SIPC), a Licensed Insurance Agency.  Eagle Strategies LLC and NYLIFE Securities LLC are New York Life Companies.

On a personal note, I am married with a blended family of five children and eight grandchildren.  Family time, game nights, comedy and baking pound cakes, are my guilty pleasures in life.  I also enjoy singing in Sign Language.  I was born and raised in Detroit Michigan.  I am a Cass Technical High School and Michigan State University Alum - I Bleed Green!

A childhood dream that became a reality...

We are happy to serve our clients no matter what stage of life they're in.
