I quit college because I ran out of money and was self financing from age 18-20, but had no one to ask advice or where to ask for help and joined the workforce. I come from the construction and communications world, started as a technician and became a Project Manager within the Service Department Manager after 7 years. I quickly realized the company vision and mine were not the same while in management and a long term fit would not last. I called my wife and let her know I was done and going to be putting in my 2 week resignation in 2021. In my working career, this was the first time I was not going to roll over a 401k to another job and I did not know my options. I met with a guy who was an advisor of a friend of mine and he explained a product that has a buffer against losses, plus unlimited growth potential and I wanted to know more. I joined the Financial Services world because of the things I know now and it is cliche, but I wish I would have known them sooner. I became licensed in October of 2021 and have helped clients with debt management, student loans, protection and growth within Life Insurance solutions, and long term planning to help families enjoy retirement and not worry about becoming broke. Peace of mind is a powerful thing and there are so many things out there to help create that. I believe it isn't money earned, but money saved and working that creates a better more stress free life and I enjoy showing people and educating them because every little bit helps. I feel great each and every time I get to help a person's situation!
