Our History
In the mid-1960s, Norman Saranovitz was a full-time art teacher at a local high school. While loving his profession and being a talented artist, Norman got interested in investments and insurance, and soon started sharing his knowledge with his fellow teachers in the teacher’s room. Norman eventually established his company, Saranovitz Capital Management (SCM) and enjoyed a “retirement” career running his practice.
His son, Brian Saranovitz, after graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 1985, joined Norman in the practice attaining his insurance and investment licenses. In his first three years after college, Brian balanced a career playing professional football and advising SCM clients. For the next 30 years, Norm and Brian focused on working with teachers and other professionals in their community.
In 2015, Brian and life partner Lynn Toomey saw the need and struggle many of Brian and Norm’s aging clients were facing with retirement planning. Norm decided to scale back and let the “youngins” take the reins and build a new brand. Brian and Lynn re-branded the company to Your Retirement Advisor, Inc. (YRA). The duo immersed themselves into the world of retirement planning. Brian focused on serving clients while Lynn focused on the marketing and operations side of the business. Today, Brian is one of the industry’s foremost authorities on retirement planning. He works with clients all across the United States and is proud to also teach local and online retirement planning classes with Lynn.
