I fight for my clients because I know firsthand how financially devastating a premature death can be; it happened to my family. When my younger sister passed away, she left behind three young children and no plan in place for them.

Educating someone about the importance of life insurance as the foundation of any financial plan, helping older clients protect the money they have worked so hard to save, honestly caring for business owners by saving them money in taxes, and giving back to my community are what get me excited to start the day.

my daughter and I volunteered at a Modern Woodmen-sponsored food drive for homeless vets, held at the military museum in Cape Coral. Afterward, as we were getting into the car, my daughter turned to me and expressed her shock about how many people we had served that day and how she truly thought it was not the problem it is.
