I was raised by my mother and grandparents in South Seattle. After graduating from Rainier Beach High School, I joined the United States Marine Corps. My longstanding interest in and passion for finance led me to obtain my life insurance license in the late 1980s. Helping others is my true motivation and a cornerstone of my business. With years of personal life experiences from being in the military and raising a large family, combined with my education, I have the depth and knowledge to assist my clients effectively, ensuring that they are well informed and adequately protected. My children and grandkids are my pride and joy! My guilty pleasure is taking off on a sunny day for a ride on my Harley. On the weekends, you can find me doing this, spending time with my family or enjoying a round of golf. I am a proud member of the Lions Club, Eagles, and VFW. Additionally, I volunteer my time at Vine Maple Place as an instructor for their financial education program.
