Insurance Built Around Your Actual Life

Term life, disability, long-term care, and annuities,
chosen for the specific risks you want covered,
using carriers that answer to policyholders, not shareholders.

Growing Families

A new baby or a first home can quickly change what your family needs to stay financially secure. I help you create income replacement to cover major expenses in the event of a loss, including childcare, education, and mortgage payments.

Life's Turning Points

Getting married or a change in employment can shift what coverage is appropriate to protect your finances. I help you determine what strategy makes sense as life changes, and whether your existing coverage still meets your needs.

Long-Term Planning

How do you protect against outliving your money? I help you evaluate options to manage the potentially devastating financial impact of long term care, and how to use a range of available products to secure against other lifelong financial unknowns.

Do you work with people who already have complicated, existing coverage, not just people starting fresh?

Will insurance recognize my unconventional family structure?

What if I don’t know what kind of coverage I need?

What We Cover

Term Life Insurance

Affordable, temporary coverage that pays a set benefit if you die during the policy term, typically 10 to 30 years, most often used to replace income and pay off debts like a mortgage.

Disability Insurance

Replaces a portion of your income if you become unable to work due to illness or injury, protecting the paycheck your family already depends on.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Covers the cost of extended care, through a standalone policy or a hybrid policy that also pays a death benefit.

Annuities

A contract with an insurance company that converts savings into guaranteed income, protecting against the risk of outliving your money in retirement.

Coverage From Companies That Answer to You

Many insurance companies are owned by outside shareholders, whose interest is company profit. In 2024, 139 US insurers were owned by private equity firms, with steady growth over the 15 years prior [CRS report]. I intentionally place policies with mutual (co-operative) and not-for-profit carriers instead —

Many insurance companies are owned by outside shareholders, whose interest is company profit. I place the large majority of my policies with mutual and not-for-profit carriers instead — companies owned by their own policyholders. It matters to many of the families I work with, and it matters to me.

Companies where the incentives point toward policyholders, not for-profit owners.

Sometimes This Grows Into Something Bigger

Personal Financial Guidance

Some clients want more than a policy, a real look at their full financial picture, projected forward over time, that can inform not just what coverage makes sense today, but how those needs might change down the road. That’s a separate, fee-based service from insurance placement itself. If it’s something you’re curious about, mention it when you reach out.

Retirement Collaboration with Parents

Many of the people I work with on insurance are also starting to think through a parent’s retirement, or their own. If that’s true for you too, that’s a conversation I can help with as well, whenever it’s relevant.
