J. Randall Nye (Randy), JD, MT, CRCP, CLU
Principal

Prior to becoming a shareholder and Principal of Nye Financial Group, Randy was an associate attorney at the Cleveland Ohio law firm of Calfee, Halter & Griswold and was a member of that firm's Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice group. This group had a national reputation and, as a result, Randy considers the training and experience received in this "big law" environment his most valuable assets.

While still in law school in 1987 and while consulting with John Nye on a particularly difficult case, Randy developed a technique that subsequently became Nye Financial Group's core planning strategy - the Annuity/Life Arbitrage. While it can't be definitively established that Randy and John were the first to employ the concept (we have not found anyone yet that used the technique prior to 1987), it is an example of the kind of original thinking that Nye Financial brings to planning for clients.

Recently, Randy has been devoting substantial time and effort to launch a new affiliate of Nye Financial Group that is called Actuarial Advantage, LLC. The focus of Actuarial Advantage is to consult with not only representatives working under the Nye banner, but with other advisors as well. Actuarial Advantage will launch "wholesaling" companies in order to be compensated for the intellectual property developed in this "think tank." For those that are familiar with the term, Randy refers to Actuarial Advantage as a financial strategies "Skunk Works."

Randy and his wife, Karen, reside in Hudson, Ohio with their four sons Christopher, Alex, Cory and Zach.
