Meet the team
Blake Candreva
Owner/Licensed Insurance Agent
Hi, I’m Blake Candreva—owner and lead advisor at Nevada Retirement Planners and Nevada Senior Advisors.
I was born and raised right here in beautiful Reno, Nevada. I attended Huffaker Elementary, Pine Middle School, Galena High School, and later earned my degree in Communications with a minor in Business Administration from the University of Nevada, Reno. My love for this community runs deep—I even served in the Nevada Air National Guard for six years, including one deployment overseas. One of the things I cherish most about this area is how quickly you can escape into nature; in just 15 minutes, you’re away from the hustle and into the outdoors. That connection to both community and nature has kept me rooted here.
With over a decade of experience in financial services, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals and families plan confidently for retirement. As a fiduciary advisor holding both the Series 7 and Series 66 licenses, I always put my clients’ best interests first—offering guidance without commission-driven pressure or product bias.
In 2025, I proudly took over Nevada Retirement Planners and Nevada Senior Advisors from longtime and well-respected advisor Eric Cheek, who officially retired on July 1st. While Eric has stepped away from day-to-day operations, he remains a trusted resource during this transition to ensure continued care and support for all of our clients.
Whether you’re approaching retirement, already retired, or simply looking for sound guidance in an ever-changing financial landscape, I’m here to provide clear, personalized strategies to help you reach your goals with confidence.
Eric Cheek
Licensed Insurance Agent
For the past 25 years Eric Cheek has provided current, insightful advice for medicare beneficiaries, retirees, and those preparing for retirement. Eric works one on one with each of his clients to take the confusion and mystery out of the issues that threaten financial peace of mind. Eric considers it a great honor to preserve and grow the assets his client’s have worked so hard to create.
When Eric is not working to serve his clients, he takes pleasure in playing golf with friends and spending time with this family. Eric is also a boxing judge for the Nevada State Athletic Commission and has been active with them since 1989.
