He will report directly to Anthony Bologna, divisional vice president of the eastern region, retirement sales.

Merk brings more than 15 years of retirement industry experience to his role, including expertise in all aspects of distribution, brand exposure, and assisting partners to scale their practices.

Merk attended Montclair State University and holds his FINRA Series 7, 66, and 63 licenses.

"Adding someone of his caliber demonstrates Ascensus' ability to attract and retain high-end talent, and is indicative of our commitment to help people save for what matters most."
