He oversees CBD’s corporate retirement plan division and was recognized as one of the best-in-state wealth advisors by Forbes Magazine.
Bond has a background as a practicing attorney where he focused in the areas of defense litigation and estate planning. Now, he specializes in advising business owners and retirees including clients retiring from Chevron and Entergy.
Also beginning his career as an attorney, Comeaux oversees CBD’s investment and operational functions and assists clients with their retirement and business planning needs.
