Meet Don Silversmith
Don saw a gap in how people think about insurance—not just as protection, but as a powerful financial tool. That insight led him to found NexGen Insurance Strategies, helping the next generation leverage insurance to build wealth, preserve legacies, and plan for the future.
A Wharton graduate with a BS in Economics and more than four decades of experience in life insurance and financial services, Don combines deep investment expertise with practical, client-focused guidance. Throughout his career, he has advised individuals, families, and business owners on business succession, executive benefits, wealth transfer, and estate planning.
Don’s approach is analytical and results-driven: he assesses unique circumstances, explores multiple strategies, and implements tailored solutions efficiently. He believes that properly structured life insurance is not just a product—it’s a solution that empowers clients to meet their financial goals, protect their families, and secure their legacies.
