Before insurance, John spent nearly a decade as a mortgage consultant — giving him a deep understanding of how real families think about money and financial security.

He has trained hundreds of agents across the country on how to find, present, and close fixed index annuity business — building a reputation as the guy who doesn’t just talk about protecting retirement, he does it every single day for real clients.
When he’s not protecting people’s nest eggs, John is spending time with his two daughters — including cheering on the one still tearing it up on the softball field.
