For the past 26 years I have dedicated my career to the Life Insurance industry. I began my career with Norbar Insurance Agencies, during which time I was continually challenged to improve my knowledge on all personal and corporate insurance products and services and have extensive knowledge in the Group and Life Insurance Industry.

At the end of May 2001, I left Norbar and started my own brokerage firm. Over the years, due to my experience, I have been able to assess which products would be best suited to each individual client's needs and have had a very high retention rate due to my loyalty, dedication, and easy accessibility to my client and working closely to meet their individual expectations of what they are looking to achieve in their purchase of the individual insurance product of choice.

At present, I have over 1000 clients and have an excellent "servicing team" that enables us to provide efficient, quick and reliable attention to any questions or concerns you may require.

As they say, "the proof is in the pudding", I hope to be able to make that proof a reality in showing you just how much my staff and I care and are dedicated to your present, future and eternal well being.
