Indexed universal life, mortgage protection, and term life for families in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and across Ohio. Licensed in Ohio, with everything done by phone or video.

Ohio families value the basics done right: a home that stays in the family, kids who get their shot at college, and a retirement that doesn't depend on a good year in the market.
I'm licensed in Ohio and work with clients statewide by phone and video. I specialize in indexed universal life (IUL), which protects your family, protects you with living benefits, and builds cash value with a 0% floor on index credits. I also write mortgage protection, term life, final expense, and annuities, and I compare multiple carriers for every policy.

Top IUL producers explain it in three parts, and so do I. Every indexed universal life policy protects your family, protects you, and builds wealth at the same time.

Builds wealth you can use
Features, riders, and qualifying conditions vary by carrier, product, and state. Using living benefits or policy loans reduces the death benefit paid to beneficiaries. Cash value growth is subject to caps, participation rates, and policy charges.
No office visit and no pressure. Most families are covered in days, not weeks.
We talk about what you're protecting and a few health questions.
Multiple companies compared, tradeoffs explained in plain English.
E-signature, often no medical exam, sometimes approved same day.
And I stay your agent for reviews and questions for life.
Your 401(k) and Roth IRA are great tools, but both have limits. Here's how an indexed universal life policy compares as a third, tax-advantaged bucket.

| Coming out | Taxed as income | Tax-free if qualified | Policy loans, generally income-tax-free |
| Contribution limits | IRS annual limits | Low limits, plus income limits | No IRS cap; set by policy design |

Simplified for illustration and not tax advice. IUL cash value growth is subject to caps, participation rates, and policy charges. Loans accrue interest and reduce the death benefit, and policies must be funded properly to avoid lapse or MEC status. Talk with a tax professional about your situation.
Everything happens by phone or video. We talk for about 15 minutes, I shop multiple carriers, and you apply with an e-signature. Many policies need no medical exam.
It can be one tool. IUL cash value can be accessed through policy loans for any purpose, including tuition, and it isn't counted the same way as many savings accounts. It works best when funded for several years first, so it's worth planning early.
Group coverage is often only one or two times your salary and usually ends when you leave the job. A personal policy stays with you no matter where you work, and I can help you figure out how much you actually need.
