Professional Profile
As a life and health insurance licensed advisor since 2002, I have dedicated over two decades to helping individuals navigate the complex world of insurance and retirement planning. Specializing in Medicare health insurance and Social Security claiming optimization, I understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to make the right choices, especially as you approach or enter retirement. My goal is to simplify the process for you, ensuring you have the coverage and peace of mind you deserve.
I hold the designations of Certified Medicaid Planner™ CMP and Registered Social Security Analyst® RSSA, which means I have the expertise to guide you through critical decisions about Medicaid long-term care planning and Social Security retirement benefits. These are vital aspects of your financial security, and I’m here to provide clear, compassionate advice tailored to your unique situation.
Beyond my professional life, I’ve been happily married to my wife, Cynthia, for over 29 years. In my spare time, I find joy in restoring and flying older airplanes – a passion that keeps me grounded and gives me a fresh perspective on life’s challenges.
I understand the retirement years can bring a mix of excitement and uncertainty. My mission is to be a trusted resource for you, helping you make informed decisions so you can enjoy this chapter of your life with confidence and ease.

Discover important information for your situation.
Married
If you are married, you may be able to collect up to one-half of your spouse’s Social Security benefit. This won’t affect your spouse’s checks. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Divorced
If you are divorced and 62 or older, you may qualify to receive Social Security benefits from your ex-spouse — in addition to your own Social Security payments. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Widowed
If your spouse has passed away, you may be eligible for a survivor benefit. The extra money may be essential for you. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Single
If you are single, and solely responsible for your retirement, making the optimal Social Security claiming decision is particularly important. Ask an RSSA® about your options.
Self-Employed
As a self-employed person, you may be able to decrease your payroll taxes — yet still receive the maximum income from Social Security. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Disability
Social Security can provide valuable disability benefits if you qualify, but these benefits — and how you qualify for them — are often misunderstood. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Immigrant
If you are a lawful permanent resident, but not yet a citizen, you may still qualify for Social Security benefits. Ask an RSSA® for details.
