Licensed Medicare Advisor
About Me
I'm 73 years old and know what I am doing. I have been in this business for 50 years. I am fluent in Spanish, English, and a bit of German. I love traveling and meeting new people with my wife of 34 years. My wife is 20 years younger than I, a licensed insurance broker, and will carry on my business and legacy long after I am gone. I have grown children with their own moral compass and couldn't be more proud. I have worked in the insurance business over 50 years and was a funeral director for many years before specializing in Senior insurance. My life has been surrounded by family in the business of helping those with health problems, helping those planning a better financial future, and helping those planning for death and dying. I myself have sat in a small room 1000 times and helped folks plan their loved one's funeral arrangements, as well as pre-plan their own. Please take the time to make an appointment with us using the tools on this website. You can call or click the links to speak with us in person, have us visit you at your kitchen table, or click the application links for Medicare and dental insurance, all without having to speak with anyone. These days, you are bombarded with information from TV, the phone, the radio, and the internet, which can be confusing. This all may sound morbid, but I am fun-loving, lively, and have more funeral jokes than you can shake a stick at. I have a special skill for synthesizing what's confusing and making it crystal clear.
