consultant Michael Rust picture
Michael Rust
Michael joined INPRS in 2021 and is a Certified Retirement Counselor.

“Members are always excited and happy to talk to me. Regardless of their benefit amount, members are appreciative of their benefits. Of all the past jobs that I have had, this is one of the most rewarding. The best part of my job are the connections that I make, if only for a fleeting moment. I always inquire about what a member’s plans are in retirement. I ask about their career, their family, their background, and their plans for the future. I am cognizant of the impact of the decision to retire, when to retire, and all the paths to navigate getting to retirement. If the member and I leave the meeting without knowing a bit about each other, then we have both missed an opportunity that may only come once. Life is about connections – embrace the moment!” – Michael Rust, Retirement Services Consultant, Southwest Region

“The best part of my job is the people, both members and employer representatives. I like to meet people from different backgrounds, different parts of the state, hear their stories about where they live or grew up and work, and be able to provide them with the information needed to make informed decisions about their retirement. It’s also fun to travel to different areas of the state that I am not familiar with.” -Tom Schabel, Retirement Services Consultant, Southwest Region
