Based in the dynamic "Silicon Valley North," I help entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses protect their most important asset...Their ability to produce income. My goal is to secure the future of your business, its key players, and your financial well-being.With over 20 years of experience in hospitality, 10.5 years as a partner in The Crazy Canuck, and having been mentored by the highly respected Dennis Yanke (with 42 years in the life insurance industry), I understand the unique risks and challenges founders and entrepreneurs face. My personal journey includes the hard lesson of operating a business without adequate insurance protections—an experience that now drives my passion for ensuring others are better prepared.I leverage my background and the mentorship of industry experts to design tailored insurance solutions, such as group benefit programs (tax considerations), key person insurance (ensuring the business can have options should a key player pass), buy-sell agreements (ensuring there is a path for making the surviving families and shareholders whole), and business succession planning (ensuring the wealth can be transferred to the next generation, or encapsulated for the current).Currently pursuing my CLU designation, I am committed to further refining my expertise and delivering top-notch advisory services for my clients.
