Proven ability in networking and relationship building, coaching agents to identify opportunities, and implementing innovative strategies that enhance business continuity and tax benefits. Committed to delivering exceptional results in competitive markets.
Up to my retirement in 2022 I carried a solid reputation within New York Life due to my ability to think outside the box to find solutions to complex challenges. Agents, peers, and managers all viewed me as a top notch resource for understanding policy types and their internal makeup. In my early career I earned a CLU (chartered life underwriter), ChFC (chartered financial consultant), and MSFS (master of financial science) all through the American College in Bryn Mawr PA, a respected institution in the life insurance business for decades.
