This week seems to be shaping up to have a strong focus on education and educators—and I’m excited about the conversations taking place!

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to present at Teaneck Community Charter School in New Jersey, speaking with educators about financial wellness and the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. Today, I met with the Hackensack Board of Education, where the conversation highlighted the benefits offered by Aflac.

As many of you know, I represent a variety of insurance carriers and benefit solutions. Each organization is different, and having access to multiple options allows me to help employers find benefits that best fit the needs of their teams. That said, it was especially clear today that Aflac is a carrier that many educators know, appreciate, and value.

And the focus on education continues—I am also beginning to work with a preschool in New York!

For teachers and school employees, having access to voluntary benefits can provide an additional layer of financial protection when an unexpected accident, illness, or other health event occurs.

If you own or manage a preschool or daycare, or are involved with a charter or private school, and would like to explore how your team can gain access to valuable voluntary benefits—including those offered by the premier voluntary benefit provider in the United States—I’d welcome the opportunity to start a conversation.

Please feel free to contact me. Let’s discuss how voluntary benefits can help bring additional financial wellness and protection to your employees.

Two days of traveling prevented me from posting this on the traditional, but I didn't want to wait another week to share this with my colleagues and connections here!

A great testimonial is more than a kind word—it’s a reflection of the trust we work hard to earn with our clients and partners. While we can explain the value of what we do, hearing directly from someone who has experienced that value carries a different level of credibility. I’m grateful to receive testimonials like this one from Diane Holden of the BOROUGH OF HAWORTH, and even more grateful for the relationships behind them. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their experience and allows us to continue helping businesses, organizations, and the people they serve.

I'm excited to dedicate the second half of 2026 to what I enjoy most—working alongside nonprofit organizations that make a lasting difference in our communities.

For years, I've had the privilege of helping nonprofits care for one of their greatest assets: their people. Whether it's helping employees protect their hard-earned income through supplemental benefits when illness or injury strikes, attending fundraising events, celebrating and promoting an organization's mission, or simply connecting passionate people with meaningful causes, it's work that I genuinely love.

Now, I'm excited to expand that mission even further.

I've partnered with Jay Austin Capital to help nonprofit organizations and their supporters explore an often-overlooked opportunity: Legacy Giving.

Too often, when a generous donor passes away, the charitable giving they've faithfully provided over the years comes to an end. But it doesn't have to.

Together, we're helping donors discover strategies that can:
✅ Continue supporting the nonprofit organizations they love for generations.
✅ Potentially multiply the value of their charitable impact.
✅ Allow them to experience meaningful financial benefits during their lifetime while creating an enduring legacy.

The greatest gift isn't always the one we give today—it's creating a gift that keeps giving long after we're gone.

If you're part of a nonprofit organization, serve on a board, or simply want to learn how your generosity can create an impact that lasts for generations, I'd love to start a conversation.

It was great catching up with Menachem Kolt this morning to recap the successful grand opening and ribbon-cutting of his new business in Spring Valley, NY.

The best professional relationships aren’t one-time transactions—they’re ongoing conversations. I appreciate the opportunity to stay connected, continue building our relationship, and be ready to help whenever needed. Looking forward to doing the same with all of my valued connections!

As we celebrate Independence Day and the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, I'm reminded that one of America's greatest blessings is the God-given freedom to pursue the talents, passions, and purpose we've each been entrusted with.

Freedom is more than a historical achievement—it is an opportunity. An opportunity to build, to serve, to create, to lead, and to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

My hope is that everyone reading this has found, or is still pursuing, a passion that allows them to use their unique gifts for the benefit of others—whether that's through your profession, your family, your community, or the quiet acts of kindness that often go unnoticed.

When we use our talents to lift others up, we honor not only the freedoms we've been given, but also the responsibility that comes with them.

May this Independence Day weekend be filled with gratitude for those who secured our liberty, appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy today, and renewed inspiration to use those freedoms to make a meaningful impact.

Happy 4th of July weekend! God bless you, your family, and the United States of America.

Happy Father's Day 2026 to all the fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, stepfathers, mentors, coaches, and father figures who make a difference every day.

A father's impact is often measured not by what he says, but by the example he sets, the sacrifices he makes, and the love and guidance he provides to those who depend on him.

Today we celebrate the men who show up, stand strong during difficult times, teach life's lessons, encourage dreams, and help build the foundation for future generations.

Whether you're raising children, supporting grandchildren, mentoring young people, or simply being a positive influence in someone's life, your role matters more than you may ever know.

Thank you for the wisdom, strength, protection, and love you bring to your families and communities.

Wishing all fathers and father figures a joyful, well-deserved Father's Day filled with appreciation, laughter, and precious time with loved ones.

Happy Father's Day!

Juneteenth and the Power of Protection

As we recognize Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the pursuit of opportunity.

What many people may not realize is that the history of life insurance is intertwined with the story of economic empowerment in Black communities. Following emancipation, many Black Americans were denied access to traditional financial services. In response, mutual aid societies and Black-owned insurance companies were created to help families protect one another, cover final expenses, and begin building financial stability for future generations.

At its core, life insurance has always been about more than a policy. It's about dignity, security, and ensuring that the people we love are cared for when they need it most.

This Juneteenth, I'm reminded that financial protection is an important part of financial freedom—and that helping families prepare for the future remains one of the most meaningful things we can do.

A Question for Business Owners and HR Professionals

I’m genuinely curious and would love your perspective.

If you were presented with a voluntary employee benefit program that:

✅ Costs the company nothing to implement
✅ Gives employees access to additional financial protection options
✅ Can improve employee appreciation and morale
✅ May generate payroll tax savings for the employer
✅ Requires no mandatory participation from employees

What would be your hesitation in exploring it?

This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a sincere question. Throughout my career, I’ve often heard, “We’re all set with what we have.” Yet in many other aspects of business, we recognize that options matter. We understand that no two employees have the exact same needs, and we frequently discuss the importance of creating a positive workplace culture and supporting employee well-being.

If additional voluntary options can potentially help employees without adding direct costs to the company, what factors make organizations hesitant to even have the conversation?

I’m interested in hearing honest feedback from business owners, HR leaders, and decision-makers. Are the concerns related to administration, employee participation, communication, past experiences, competing priorities, or something else entirely?

The best way for all of us to improve is to understand different perspectives.

What are your thoughts?

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day weekend, may we never forget the true reason for the holiday — honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives defending our nation and our freedom.

Celebrating with loved ones is a blessing. Remembering those who made that freedom possible is even more meaningful.

Wishing everyone a safe, peaceful, and grateful Memorial Day weekend.
