Originally, I grew up in Long Island, New York! However Currently, i reside in New jersey & I am the parent to a shifty bearded dragon named Athena and a fat bulldog named Bruno (will send pictures upon request). I wrestled and played football for my high school athletic teams. Also, i attended college at St Johns University, and not too long after i found my place in the insurance industry in the summer of 2013
There is a great quote that says something to the effect of, “Man’s greatest dilemma is that he thinks he has time.”
After the loss of two main Hero’s in life my eyes were really opened to the fragility of life. First being My Highschool wrestling coach to cancer in 2015. My coach was easily the healthiest man I ever met, he meant so much to us because he demonstrated to us more than sports and health but He was a great example to us in life for us and family . in 2015, he was suddenly was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in his early 50’s and departed within a very short time-frame ultimately leaving behind 4 daughters and a wife. This weighed on me heavily.
Another example was Kobe Bryant, his sudden death in a helicopter crash spawned a deep seed within me to cherish life. Two of my hero’s gone too soon and It not only impacted me significantly it also made me we question.. what if? When will be my time.
These tragic events helped fuel my desire and journey to help educate families from various walks of life about the importance of getting a plan in place. Everybody has a unique testimony, a unique situation… And As an agent, I wanted to create space for people’s individual needs. and Honor that families reason “why.”
I think it’s unfortunate that as children, we don’t hear much about the importance of framing your future around financial stability, health, and optimization of both these categories.Lets face reality.. insurance in general (especially life insurance) is not the most attractive subject to talk about at the dinner table. In fact, finances in general is probably the least discussed subject in the average American household. Unfortunately, because of that we tend to have these conversations only when there is a problem! Which is why I believe its imperative to not avoid it. Winston Churchill said it best… “He who fails to plan is planning to fail”.
Throughout the 8 years.. i am grateful for This industry. It has done a lot for me in a lot of different ways. It’s giving me the ability to serve others by providing comfort and security when it’s needed most!
In my journey, i have been fortunate enough to be able to manage multiple agents within my agency across the country. Stay up to speed on every Certifications & Courses. Go through many rigorous Industry-wide Product trainings. Earn a Devoted President club honoree (in 2019), Multiple Top Producer Recognitions since 2013, Hall of Fame Nominations (2022), And Rank in the top 1% agent within each sales organization I’ve been apart of that has more than 10,000 writing agents!
That’s not what’s important however, what is are the Thousands of families protected. The education. The guidance. The relationships built along the way. Almost now 10 years later! nothing is better to be able to know your job has been able to make a difference in someone’s life!
