Good morning! Due to limited staffing today, the office will be closed.

If you need assistance, please leave me a voicemail, send a text, email, or message the page. I will be monitoring messages throughout the day and will get back to you TODAY. If you need to chat in person, come see me tomorrow!

I apologize for any inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience and understanding. I hate closing. However sometimes real life has other plans, and today is one of those days. Thank you for supporting my small business!

The prompt was “why do you choose to do business in Coffey County?”

Grateful to be highlighted in this edition of the Coffey Break. Thanks Coffey County Chamber of Commerce!

When we need an office break we like to go on “field trips” around the county. Today we hit Harvester’s Grill for lunch and Arnold's Prairie Greenhouse & More for flower therapy. Where should we go on our next trip??

Not that she needs the advertisement, because that place is constantly hopping! But you guys have got to go visit my friend Kristin at The Opal in Waverly. It’s so incredible what’s she’s done!

I’m at American Family Insurance National Headquarters this week for my Agency Owner Conference, and I got to build a look alike agency owner. What do we think… does she look like me?

I know this is a longer post, but please stick with me.

I was recently talking with a friend about life insurance and the difference between term and permanent coverage. I mentioned why having a permanent policy on your kids is so important. This is one of the smartest people I know and they genuinely had no idea why. That made me stop and think… maybe that’s on me. Maybe it’s my job to explain it better.

I hate sounding pushy or salesy and I’m always worried about being annoying. But this is one of the most important financial gifts you can give your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, or any child you love.

Here’s why.

Want to create generational wealth but have no idea where to start? Life insurance.
Want to lock in your child’s health while they’re young and healthy? Life insurance.
Want a forced savings option that can be used in the future for college, a home, or emergencies? Life insurance.

Financially sound families do this. And it’s not just for wealthy people. There are options that start around $10 a month and can accomplish all of this.

It’s simple. It’s affordable. And it’s powerful.

If you’ve ever been curious or just want to understand it better, ask me. I’m always happy to explain. Creating generational wealth starts with small, intentional choices for the people we love most.
