Steven P McCormick

Steven P McCormick

Steven P McCormick has built a career that reflects steady discipline in both law and finance. His office in Simi Valley presents two defining milestones. His law degree from St. Thomas University is displayed beside his Master’s diploma in Piano Performance from Boise State University. During his graduate studies, he focused on the works of classical composers such as Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Bach, and Debussy. His academic journey shows that patience and preparation guide both music and retirement planning.

Steven was born in Miami, Florida. In 1992, he completed his English degree at the University of Florida. After graduation, he attended law school and earned his Juris Doctor. By 1995, he established his own practice, focusing on bankruptcy law, wills, trusts, and estate planning. For seven years, he worked closely with clients during financially stressful times. He helped them understand their options and create practical legal solutions. During this period, he continued his advanced musical studies and completed his Master’s degree in Piano Performance.

In 2003, McCormick transitioned into commercial litigation in Costa Mesa. He represented Newport Beach clients in business and investment disputes. As he handled more cases, he observed that many conflicts could have been reduced through stronger financial planning. He came to believe that proactive retirement planning and structured financial decisions often prevent costly litigation. This insight led him to expand his professional focus.

In 2005, Steven P. McCormick became a financial advisor at Citicorp Investment Services in San Mateo. His estate planning experience gave him working knowledge of probate law, wealth transfer trusts, and special needs trusts. Many Silicon Valley clients held concentrated technology stock positions and required guidance that connected legal structure with financial strategy. By 2006, his partnership ranked as the top-performing at the firm.

From 2007 to 2009, Steven worked at JP Morgan Chase & Co. in Burbank. He earned placement on the Top Producer Committee for two consecutive years. He served media professionals and small business owners whose income levels often fluctuated. His method remained consistent. He first worked to understand each client’s goals and financial circumstances, then developed a retirement planning strategy tailored to long-term stability.

Between 2010 and 2016, McCormick served as a telecom employee at Wescom Credit Union in Sherman Oaks. During those six years, he became the top-producing credit union advisor nationally in total revenue. In 2010, he also resumed practicing estate planning law on a part-time basis. This combination allowed him to draft estate documents while advising clients on Social Security timing, Medicare enrollment, IRMAA planning, and comprehensive retirement planning.

In 2013, Steven partnered with two petroleum engineers to establish Applied Gas Lift, LLC in Metairie, Louisiana. The company focused on restoring abandoned oil and gas wells to production. He oversaw operations until 2017.

In 2016, Steven P McCormick became an independent financial advisor with Advisor Group, specializing in retirement planning, Social Security optimization, and estate planning. He later offered free educational seminars through the Foundation for Financial Independence on Social Security and income planning strategies. In January 2025, he launched McCormick Capital in Simi Valley. Steven continues to provide retirement planning and estate planning services grounded in decades of legal and financial experience.

David Dean

David Dean

David Dean is an author, speaker, and business AI realist who explores how artificial intelligence reshapes work, judgment, and accountability in modern organizations. Through his writing and speaking, Dean surfaces the subtle ways automation and intelligent systems alter decision-making, responsibility, and trust in everyday work environments.

He spent eighteen years working inside complex enterprises—healthcare organizations, financial institutions, corporations modernizing under regulatory pressure—watching strategy collide with reality. He built the systems. Led the teams. Cleaned up after initiatives that looked flawless in planning but fractured on impact. What he learned wasn't about technology. It was about behavior.

Rather than focusing solely on AI capabilities, Dean examines the human elements that remain essential: how people navigate uncertainty, where accountability lies when AI assists or automates, and what holds organizations together when technology accelerates faster than clarity. His approach helps organizations notice what's already changing beneath the surface, turning AI-driven uncertainty into clear direction.

Dean's technical background is deep—AI architecture, intelligent automation, data strategy, governance—but his focus has always been what those systems reveal about how people actually work. His perspective comes from the inbox, the handoff, the approval chain where decisions shift and accountability dissolves.

An Inbox Between Us offers a conversation about responsibility, AI, and the shifting landscape of contemporary work. As a speaker and consultant, Dean helps teams understand how AI enters daily decisions, clarify what choices belong where, and build work systems that hold up under pressure.
