Travis Gaertner, Paralympian and ActuaryTravis Gaertner was born without his lower limbs. He has adapted to what a fully active lifestyle looked like for him. At an early age he wanted to test everything he could to determine what were HIS specific limits. That mindset resulted in 3 Paralympic gold medals spanning over 20 years and a very successful actuarial career. He believes in a balanced lifestyle. Resilience is key to successfully train at the highest level while pursuing his client’s needs during the day as a Senior Director and national leader in WTW’s Retirement Risk Management group. He does this with the focus of being done at a good hour to be present in the evenings with his family of five. He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and an Enrolled Actuary. Lunch is available for all meeting attendees as part of the registration fee. If you plan to attend, please register in advance.
