    Mersman

    Chief Marketing Officer

    Mark Mersman is the Chief Marketing Officer at USA Financial, joining the firm in 2004. He has held numerous roles within the company prior to his current position, where he leads the marketing team and works with the business development team introducing new advisors to USA Financial.

    Shortly after college he began his own practice as an Independent Advisor, which is ultimately how he stumbled upon USA Financial. Mark was the co-host of the nationally syndicated USA Financial Radio Show for seven years. In addition to meeting new advisors and learning about their practices, one of his most enjoyable roles within the firm is putting financial education presentations together and helping develop financial advisor marketing systems.

    Mark has been published/interviewed in numerous industry publications, including Investment News, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Financial Advisor magazine, WealthManagement.com, and Investopedia. He also served on an advisory board to one of the largest insurance companies in the world.

    Mark graduated from Michigan State University and is a true Spartan sports fan. When he’s not in the office, he stays active playing basketball, softball, golf, and coaching his girls’ various sports teams. He and his wife, Emily, enjoy traveling and chasing their three girls around (Charleigh, Morgan, and Mila). He enjoys the role of “girl dad,” and the family spends as much time as they can on the lake in a boat and being outdoors with their two dogs.
