My Story
Insurance Planning Consultant | 3rd-Generation Wholesaler | CE Instructor | Author | Advisor
Born and raised in the beautiful Northwestern states of Idaho and Washington (pictured above), Michael relocated to SE Alabama / NW Florida in the Fall of 2017 to be closer to his in-laws. His professional experience began in 2001 and that cumulative experience has encompassed working with clients and business owners from the full spectrum of health and financial resources. No situation is too small, or too large, for him to recommend an efficient and applicable solution. The clients’ best interest always comes first.
Michael has spoken to and trained groups of insurance professionals from across the country, including multiple speaking engagements at national conferences and nationwide webinars for NAIFA (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, www.naifa.org). He also serves as a subject matter expert in the development of the LACP certification (Life Insurance and Annuities Certified Professional) and on NAIFA’s Certifications Committee.
Authoring articles on multiple insurance topics, Michael has been published in Insurance News Net and Advisor Today magazines. Before leaving Washington State, he was awarded 2013 Young Agent of the Year and 2017 Step Up Award from his professional association peers at NAIFA Washington. In 2015 he was the recipient of the Best Sales Idea award by his wholesaler peers during a master level training event.
