Tony Bucci
Managing Director
“Making a difference and being a positive force in people’s lives is the only thing that matters, to me, our team, and this firm. When it comes to financial matters, opinions often masquerade as facts. That’s a dangerous thing.”
I founded Mission Point Planning in 2013 with a clear mission: to provide federal law enforcement officers with the specialized retirement guidance they deserve. Like many of our clients, I believe in the power of continuous learning and specialized experience. That’s why I’ve spent the last 20 years focused on understanding every detail of federal law enforcement benefits and retirement planning.
My path here wasn’t traditional. After years in marketing and leadership roles at firms like AXA Advisors and Blue Water Financial Group, I realized there was a critical gap in the financial industry. Federal law enforcement officers weren’t getting the specialized retirement guidance their unique situation demanded. I knew I could serve them better.
Today, I’m a regular contributor to FedSmith, one of the largest federal employee publications in the country, where I share insights about federal benefits and retirement planning. But my greatest satisfaction comes from helping federal law enforcement officers successfully transition to their next mission in life.
Outside the office, I’m blessed with a growing family in Lake Orion, including my wife Alana, three daughters (Ava, Millie, and Ruby), and our family pets. We’re former Detroit residents who still love spending time in the city, whether it’s shopping at Eastern Market or running along the riverfront. I’m an avid reader (yes, Audible counts), and I’m always pursuing new challenges—from learning to sail to exploring national parks. A Few Things About Me:
- Favorite Book: “For Whom the Bell Tolls” – It’s about duty, service, and doing what’s right
- Bucket List: Learning a new language, climbing a 20,000-foot peak, becoming an excellent cook
- Secret to Success: It’s about embracing the daily grind—choosing the important over the easy, priorities over feelings, and people over things
- Guiding Philosophy: “Money is only a tool. It will take you where you wish but won’t replace the driver.”
- Best Part of My Job: Seeing the peace of mind our clients get when they know their retirement is secure
- Most Admired Historical Figures: Major Richard Winters, Winston Churchill, JFK
