I've been in the life insurance space for 14 years, and have helped thousands of families get the proper protection in place. Before I got into life insurance, I played professional football.

I am a family man that still loves sports. Married since 2003 to my lovely wife. Father of two college athletes. I love helping my clients put plans in place that will help the people they care about when they are no longer around to do it themselves.

Common questions

How much life insurance do I actually need?

It depends on what you want the policy to help cover. Income replacement, a mortgage, debt, children, final expenses, and long-term goals all matter. An agent can help you work through those numbers.

Is term or whole life better?

Neither is automatically better. Term is generally designed for coverage during a specific period, while whole life is permanent. The right fit depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what you are comfortable spending.

Will I have to take a medical exam?

Not always. Some policies require an exam and others may use simplified underwriting. Availability depends on the carrier, product, age, and health history.

What is Indexed Universal Life insurance?

Indexed Universal Life, or IUL, is a form of permanent life insurance that can build cash value based in part on the performance of a selected market index. Growth is subject to policy-specific caps, floors, participation rates, charges, and other terms, so it is important to review the illustration and details with a licensed agent.

Can I talk to someone before I apply?

Absolutely. In fact, that is the point. You can talk through your questions first and decide whether you want to move forward afterward.
