Experienced Life Insurance Agent, Advisor & Consultant For Professional Advisors

Helping Professional Advisors Get Answers Fast

Your insurance industry insider.

You’re the advisor your client needs. You’ll just do it all faster - and with greater ROI - with my help.

Your clients come to you because you’re the professional. You’ve got their backs. You’ve got all the answers.

Except for when you don’t.

Because some cases are extremely complicated. And some are a black hole demanding more time than you have.

Meanwhile, you have a dozen case files on your desk demanding resolution yesterday.

While you’ve got their back, I’ve got your back.

I’m a former life insurance company Vice President and Counsel, and previous agency Owner. Across 40 years in the business, I’ve specialized in life insurance design, utilization, business valuation, executive benefit plans, buy-sell arrangements, and more. I offer the resources of a carrier and, even better, the expertise of someone who has been in the trenches.

This means you get resolution quickly.

Call me a coach. Call me a mentor. Call me your ace in the hole.

Just call me.

How I Can Help

Advice for Complex Insurance Sales

I help brokers and agents design cases to present to clients and secure the sale.

Product Selection & Carrier Issues

I use industry-recognized rating services to run analyses and ascertain the appropriate policies for your case (premiums, ratings, coverage, etc.). I also know the companies willing to insure clients with specific health issues.

Plan Design & Compliance

I provide guidance to meet the client’s goals, including the legal, compliance, and design aspects of the plan (and I don’t step on the pros working on the case).

Business Valuation

I use a nationally recognized database alongside 40 years of experience to determine the value of a business compared to similarly situated organizations.

Business Transition Arrangements

I deliver analysis to help businesses decide the appropriate transition upon the death of an owner. (There are tax implications that I can help with, too.)

Customized Executive Benefit Plan Design

I design, implement and review plans to retain or recruit sought-after talent and staff

Review Policies Owned by Your Business

Concerned your documentation isn’t up-to-date? Have partners joined or left the company? Have applicable tax law and regulations changed? Is the insurer financially strong? I review the pertinent documents including business valuation and contractual documentation.
