A Legacy of Trusted Financial Guidance
Santiago A. Rodriguez, CLTC®, LTCP, DIA, DIF
Insurance Advisor | Financial Security Advocate | NAIFA Leader
“Financial security is not a luxury—it’s a foundation. When people feel secure, they can live with confidence, purpose, and peace of mind.”
With over 25 years of experience in the insurance and financial services industry, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and business owners protect what matters most and build a future they can feel confident about.
My journey into this profession was inspired by personal experience—witnessing how financial uncertainty can impact a family. That early lesson shaped my commitment to helping others find clarity, stability, and peace of mind through thoughtful planning and protection.
I believe in building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and personalized service. My clients know me for my ability to simplify complex topics, provide honest guidance, and deliver solutions that align with their values and goals.
I hold several respected industry designations—CLTC®, LTCP, DIA, and DIF—and have been honored to serve in leadership roles with the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA). These roles include serving as President of NAIFA Kankakee Valley, Director on the NAIFA Illinois State Board, and a graduate of NAIFA’s Leadership in Life Institute. I’m also a three-time Financial Security Advocate, recognized for my commitment to advancing financial literacy and protection.
Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring emerging professionals, engaging with my community, and spending quality time with my family. I hold the belief that trust is a valuable asset, and I am appreciative of every chance to earn it, one conversation at a time.
