Before forming Saunders Retirement Advisors in 1985, Mark worked as a registered representative for Wheat First Securities and Dean Witter Reynolds in Richmond. Mark ran Saunders Retirement Advisors as a broker-dealer until 2012.  Now he uses Investacorp in Miami to provide broker-dealer services for his company. His reason: he'd rather spend time with clients than with regulators.
