ABOUT US AND OUR RETIREMENT PLAN CONSULTANTS

Our team of experienced retirement plan consultants and technologists are making retirement saving safer and easier.

We have a very simple goal here at ForUsAll – to fix retirement in America, so that everyone has a fair shot at a brighter financial future. Our consultants, investment advisor representatives, operations team, and technologists can advise you on how to offer a next-gen 401(k) that has built-in administrative and investment fiduciary protection, that works with your existing HR software, and tracks employee eligibility. ForUsAll’s smart plan design, employee onboarding, and communication strategies improve employee engagement and promote your employees’ financial wellness. Because our consultants leverage technology and low-cost funds, all this is usually possible for less than what you are currently paying.
Meet the retirement plan consultants, investment advisor representatives, software engineers, and 401(k) operations professionals who are leading the effort:

  • David Ramirez
    Founder, Chief Investment Officer
    David is on a mission to help every small business owner offer a 401(k) that rivals the largest Fortune 500 retirement plans. To say David is frugal is, well, an understatement. So as a founder and Chief Investment Officer, David spends his time doggedly using the combined purchasing power of our clients to get ever better services at ever lower costs. And David has a pretty good idea of how awesome and inexpensive 401(k)’s can be. Prior to founding ForUsAll, David helped manage over $55 billion in assets for employees at large Fortune 100 companies. David holds a CFA charter and a B.S. in Political Economics of Industrial Societies from the University of California, Berkeley. When not working, David swims, writes bad haiku and moonlights as a ceramicist. David has no plans on retiring - but will likely make a career shift later in life to dedicate himself fully to creating the perfect teapot.

  • Brian Mahendra Lane
    Retirement Plan Consultant
    Brian has worked exclusively in startups, (usually without retirement plans) and has observed members of his generation stacking their income in checking accounts without any thoughts of the future. So, Brian’s mission is to reach out to the countless companies barred from offering a retirement plan due to company size, cost, or complexity of entry. He firmly believes that everyone deserves a transparent, affordable solution for saving for their future. Brian’s first love is architecture, but that did not stop him from earning his B.S. in Environmental Economics and Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. In his spare time, Brian is an aspiring triathlete with a preference for swimming, camping, and star wars. When Brian retires, he plans to move to Norway, live in a snowy cabin, and design modern homes.
