Randy Laniewski
Vice President
Randy Laniewski brings a lifetime of experience in customer service, leadership, and relationship-building to Starr Financial Services. Before beginning his career in financial services, Randy spent 39 years in the automotive industry, including 27 years serving as General Manager. During that time, he built his career around trust, hard work, clear communication and helping customers make confident decisions.
Randy’s connection to Starr Financial Services is deeply personal. He is the son of the company’s founders, Sue Starr and the late Bill Starr, and the father of Courtney Hanes, the current President of the company. Being part of Starr Financial Services allows Randy to continue the family tradition of serving clients with honesty, care, and a commitment to doing what is right.
As part of the team at Starr Financial Services, Randy focuses on helping individuals, families, and retirees better understand their options for annuities, life insurance, rollovers, and retirement income strategies, as well as Medicare planning. He also enjoys helping younger individuals and families begin preparing for retirement early, so they can build a stronger financial foundation for the future. He believes financial conversations should be clear, practical, and comfortable, without pressure or confusion.
After working with thousands of people throughout his first career, Randy understands the importance of listening first. His goal is to help clients protect what they have worked hard to build, plan for income they can count on, and make decisions that support both their retirement and their family’s future.
Randy lives in Selinsgrove with his wife, Melissa. They have three daughters, Courtney, Justine, and Rebecca, as well as eight wonderful grandchildren.
At Starr Financial Services, Randy is proud to be part of “A Family of Financial Services,” where clients are treated with respect, care, and the kind of personal attention that comes from a family business.
