Too many advisors simply offer a wide array of options and planning services in a cafeteria style approach, i.e. “we do life insurance, mutual funds and annuities, etc., what do you want?” We think this is WRONG, but it happens all the time. For example, frequently, I see people who have life insurance in place – but NO disability income protection, hands down, the single most critical area of planning – but almost always, the most overlooked. Proper planning should be like doing a surgery or building a house. Things happen in a logical set of steps, and you don’t deviate. You don’t for example start with building the roof, or just dive right in to doing the cabinets and picking out tile; you start with the FOUNDATION, then move on to framing, wiring, plumbing, etc. Good financial planning and risk management should be no different. We help all clients plan for their future financial security the right way, from the bottom up, starting with the foundation. 1) Is protecting your cash flow, your income with disability insurance. 2) Is making sure your loved ones are covered properly with life insurance. 3) Is making sure you have at bare minimum, 6 months worth of liquid savings - ideally a year. 4) Is saving enough for retirement and 5) Is doing everything possible to protect and grow and enjoy your retirement nest egg. 

Where most financial advisors and brokerage firms only offer and advocate “diversification” i.e. (don’t’ put all your eggs in one basket) in investment portfolios – WE only offer solutions that provide GUARANTEES against market loss. This is a HUGE distinction. To us, only using diversification, without guarantees is nothing more than going to gamble at the casino and using 20 slot machines, instead of 1 – you are STILL gambling! We help our clients to get the best of both worlds when it comes to saving for retirement. We broker exclusively with highly respected top insurance and financial institutions that have consistently earned top "A" ratings from rating companies such as A.M. Best, Standard and Poors, Moody's and Fitch. These companies offer "Indexed Plans" that capture the UPSIDE potential of the stock market when it's doing well -BUT with guaranteed safety and ZERO DOWNSIDE RISK.  In over 24 years of doing business, not one client using these plans has lost one single cent, including really bad ones like 2008 when the S&P 500 lost 38.48%. 

Our nation is literally trillions of dollars in debt. How are we going to pay for that? We think it will be from raising taxes in the future. Therefore, we are a huge fan of contributing to plans with after-tax dollars and getting tax-free distributions in retirement. One challenge for some however, a good problem to have - is they make too much money to contribute to Roth IRAs. We specialize in some unique strategies and plans that allow large contributions without the same limits, restrictions and penalties as IRAs, Roth IRAs and 401Ks.

We are a highly respected and known author with our own insurance and financial column in a variety of business journals and other magazines and publications 

Almost unheard of, see our 42 written testimonials, many of them with several paragraphs, from very happy clients who are willing to back it up with their actual contact info.

We do nearly 100% of our business quickly and efficiently right over the telephone and via web conferences and by email and text. All of our insurance and financial partners provide paperless online "e-applications." This saves everyone time in our busy world.
