Steven F. Belcher, founder and president of Belcher & COMPANY was born and raised in Pascagoula, MS. After graduating from Pascagoula High School in 1979, he attended Florida State University, graduating in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Following his B.S. degree, Steve attended the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and in 1985, received his Master of Science degree in Healthcare Administration.
The seeds that would eventually become Belcher & COMPANY were planted when Steve entered the insurance business in 1985. After ten years with a major insurance company as a wholesaler of employee benefits, he left his position as Vice President of Sales and Marketing to launch his own insurance and financial services practice, the beginning of Belcher & COMPANY.
As an agent with New York Life Insurance Company, Steve is a Chartered Life Underwriter® designation and holds Life, Health, and Variable Annuity licenses. He is a Registered Representative offering securities through NYLIFE Securities LLC (Member FINRA/SIPC), a Licensed Insurance Agency. Steve is also a Wealth Advisor with Eagle Strategies LLC, both are New York Life companies. Steve also has his FINRA Series 6, 63 & 65 securities licenses.
Now in the 29th year of his career as a financial professional and wealth advisor, Steve focuses on helping small business owners and professionals navigate the financial landscape to plan for a prosperous retirement, as well as guiding them through their retirement years and helping them plan for the legacy they want to leave.
Civic involvement has always been a priority, a reflection of Steve’s desire to give back to his community. Steve has been Rotarian since 1995 serving as a Board member for 2 different clubs. Steve also served on the Board of Directors for Valerie’s House, a local non-profit dedicated to providing bereavement services for children that are suffering from the loss of a parent or sibling.
Since 1994, Steve has lived in Fort Myers, Fl with his wife, Lisa. Their two sons, Zachary and Hunter both live and work just up the state in Tampa, Fl. Away from the office, Steve enjoys playing golf and the piano. The resurgence in vinyl finds him knocking the dust off his collection of LP’s covering a variety of blues, jazz, and of course good ole rock n’ roll!
