President, General Agent/PPGA
Licensed Insurance Counselor
Managed and operated a small Personal Producing General Agency selling primarily life products by telephone. Attained my goal of $175,000,000 face value, generating approximately $160,000 of new first year life premium. Annuity premium was $153,000, primarily single premium products. Worked with and trained six (6) new agents. Due to the time drags of a divorce, (March, 1998 – August, 2000), there was not enough time to work with new agents, so I returned to PPGA status only. Currently I only work with a few existing clients and people I know personally.
