article2Research... All The Grunt-Work Is Done For You!

From 10 years of service as a Knights of Columbus Insurance Agent, I want to share with you anything that I know will help! Providing for you and for your family takes dedication and a commitment to looking out for your interests! Give me a call.

You can own life insurance from any company. You might not even have life insurance at this point. Whatever your situation, I'm on a mission to ensure your financial future, and that of your family, is secure.

I'm not out to sell you what you don't need, and if you are happy with what you have, I'm not out to convince you otherwise. I'm simply here to answer your questions. Any concerns you may have are concerns I share. And, in a decade of working as an agent, I've probably heard similar concerns before. Let me put your heart to rest.

Need to ask the same question three different ways?
I'm there.

Considering letting go of your insurance policy?
I'm there. Your council is there for you too.

My greatest concern involves how the recession has affected your outlook towards your life insurance policy.

Before you make any decision regarding a hold on life insurance, let me give you some clear, reliable information that may provide you with some more options. The last thing you want to do is to leave your financial future in a fog.

After 10 years, my mission is to take the guesswork out of the life insurance maze. Why? Because you and your legacy are priceless.
article1Knights of Columbus Membership: You're Not Signing Your Life Away!

Here's the surprise that the news media can't hide: the general concensus asserts that religion provides a good ethical standard!

Remember, Knights of Columbus are rooted in the Catholic faith. We aren't going anywhere. Our values are solid and our actions support them.

One of my valued policyholders mentioned that she's been talking with her parents and in-laws; both sides have experienced $10,000+ in investment losses over the past year. She's been talking to them about the benefits of Knights of Columbus Insurance for the past few months. The odd thing is that neither her parents nor her in-laws have budged. And for the subsequent months, they've continued to lose more of their retirement. Finally, she asked, "Why haven't you taken advantage of KCI?" The response, "You have to join the Knights, and then you have to go to more meetings."


Maybe moral business practices aren't enough of a reason. Maybe KCI's impeccable ratings aren't enough. Maybe even the prospect of stalling retirement isn't enough.
Money is enough.
How much are you willing to lose?

article3Why Buy Young?

Did you know...

despite rough economic waters, KCI products are investments that will reap returns?

"Premiums will tend to be lower when you are younger because insurance companies feel you have less chance of dying. Most jobs provide life insurance, but it is best not to solely rely on this policy. You may lose your job, and in doing so, lose your life insurance." read the article

article4Congress Cracks Down on Ads Targeting Seniors to Sell Back Their Life Insurance Policies

Unbelievable! I can't imagine the families who've worked so long at keeping their nest egg safe who are now facing the future with a cashed-in egg. read the article
