He is a Father, son, husband and incredible human being. He cares. He knows how to get the best coverage at a cost that you can afford, while also understanding that one size does not fit all when it comes to purchasing health insurance. I have the honor of having Bill as a Contributing Partner on our Board. I was able to call on Bill for a gentlemen who is intellectually disabled. Bill helped him acquire the right coverage, at the right price and one that his network of providers accepted. Beyond his expertise and awesome humor, Bill cares. That has always shined through. I highly recommend Billy Harrison, because he delivers and you can trust him. Nothing is more important than that. "

(more) I always ask a question that makes them feel they are important and I'm interested in learning about them before I talk about myself.  I'll ask a question like, "what made you choose this field or position"? I follow it up with I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing which immediately opens the door to intimacy at the human level of sharing ones story. I keep it personal but from a distance. I want to know who the person is I'm sharing time with because I have never not learned something even when what I learn about the individual is that they are not ever going to be in my sandbox.

(more) Learning new skills to support the recipients of my work.  Example, ASL. American Sign Language is one of the skills I've invested in learning.  Going to where vulnerable populations are and connecting with self-help groups and organizations means spending more time on the road.  I prefer face to face whenever possible.  The single technology increase will probably be enhancing my Zoom account helping more people have access to interacting from a distance due to mobility and transportation issues. Investing in the areas you want to improve and support makes far more logical sense to me than investing in medias most either can't afford or have no interest in.

(more) What I do does not count on selling or buying but on collaboration. I work to transform the lives of Vulnerable Populations so that they can live with dignity and respect. You can't put a dollar amount on the work I do although it takes money to get the message out, stay connected and pay for the sharing information and bringing people together via physical and virtual meetings.
