I am a 30+ year veteran in the life insurance and financial services industry. Beginning in the brokerage arena, I helped grow Pacific Life’s Michigan office to one of its largest. Moving to Phoenix Life, I took responsibility for the Midwest territory, eventually managing all brokerage sales and operations for a 7 state region, leading the entire company for several years. I began an independent brokerage career with Highland Capital Brokerage, an NFP company, in 2004 where I was consistently a leading SVP for over 10 years, prior to the firm being sold to a private equity company. I joined Plus Financial Network, an AimcoR company, in 2014, where I maintain offices in both Troy, MI and Traverse City, MI. I have led and gratefully served as President of NAIFA, boards of Society of Financial Service Professionals (CLU, ChFC) where I was a Golden Key Member, The Financial and Estate Planning Council of Metro Detroit and acted as an Ambassador for AALU, a leading industry advocacy organization located in Washington DC.
