Paul Danziger, MBA

Founder | President | Financial Planner

Paul finds great satisfaction in helping individuals, families and businesses design financial plans to help them enjoy their retirement years in the lifestyle they deserve.

Before becoming a financial advisor in 2009, Paul founded The Danziger Leadership Group, which helped other financial services firms improve their customer service and leadership skills. By working with other advisors, Paul realized he was a perfect fit for the industry as he loved helping others and creating financial strategies.

Paul started his own firm, Freedom Financial Advisors of Maryland, in 2007, focusing on life insurance and annuities, and added wealth management and cash-balance plans in 2009. Using the skills and knowledge he has acquired after nearly two decades in the industry, he helps clients develop customized financial strategies based on their specific goals and risk tolerance.

Paul uses a variety of investment and insurance strategies to help design comprehensive financial plans that are uniquely tailored to help pursue each individual's financial goals and objectives.

Paul earned his Bachelor of Arts from Syracuse University and his Master of Business Administration from American University. He has passed the Series 22 and 65 securities exams and holds life, health, annuity, property and casualty insurance licenses.

Paul lives in Bethesda with his best friend and life partner, Gail Newman. As he would say, he has been blessed with two wonderful children, Meredith and Jonathan, and three beautiful grandchildren, Cori, Wyatt and Chase. When he’s not helping clients or spending time with family, Paul loves humiliating himself on the golf course (but always trying to improve), reading and following his favorite pro sports teams, the Capitals and Nationals. “As a Syracuse grad, I bleed orange. I suffer with the defeats but relish the victories.”
