There is a great quote that says something to the effect of, "Man's greatest dilemma is that he thinks he has time."
When I heard this for the first time, I had little knowledge of the insurance industry. I think it's unfortunate that as children, we don't hear much about the importance of framing your future around financial stability, health, and optimization of both these categories. When it comes to such crucial topics, ignorance is anything but bliss.
I am from Clearwater, Florida! I attended college at Berkshire Christian College, in Lenox Ma, where I had planned on following in my fathers footsteps. but I found my place in the insurance industry a few years later, after really understanding the pain and struggle my Mom went through after Dad's passing with only a $10,000 Work Life Insurance policy.
Looking back on the aftermath of Dad's passing and Mom's struggle, I realized then I had witnessed first hand the importance of life insurance. Candidly, it's not the most popular topic of discussion for a lot of people. When I got started in the industry, however, I was determined to change that.
This fueled my passion for helping to educate families from various walks of life about the importance of getting a plan in place. Everybody has a unique testimony, and there is no one size fits all policy. As an agent, I wanted to create space for people's individual needs. This industry has helped me to do so, giving me the ability to serve others by providing comfort and security when it's needed most!
