Confidence for the Future
We know life insurance isn’t something most people want to think about. That’s why we do it for you, with a view of insurance that’s shaped by your desire to protect what matters to you. Life insurance is a tool to help mitigate risk in your financial life while providing you and your family with confidence for the future. As an independent insurance agency, we have the ability to access coverage from more than 30 carriers so we can offer truly unique solutions to meet your needs.
Personal Life Insurance
We often think of life insurance as a way to help fund final expenses—but life insurance can be much more! It’s important to consider life insurance (or a review of your current life insurance policy), when certain life events occur, such as:
- Buying a house
- Having a child
- Getting married
- Planning for retirement
Whether you need to protect your children, your spouse, or even a parent from the loss of your income, we are here to help you calculate that risk and make the proper plan to protect the people you care about. Our team is here to help you determine the potential financial risk to your family and to help you put the proper coverage into place.
Business Life Insurance
Life insurance is important for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re using life insurance as an employee benefit to attract and retain talent or using it to protect the company from loss, business life insurance can offer various protections.
- To keep your business running
- To fund business succession plans
- To equalize an estate among heirs
- To attract and retain top talent
- To provide collateral for a commercial loan
We understand small and medium-sized businesses and can help you find ways to protect your company with business life insurance.

Types of Life Insurance Policies
Whole Life
From birth to age 90, your premium will never increase with whole life insurance. Your death benefits will be there when you need them, and you may be able to accumulate cash value and other living benefits.
Term Life
Often less expensive than whole life insurance, term insurance provides death benefits for a certain number of years (term) at a set premium.
Universal Life
We offer all three major types of universal life insurance: interest sensitive, guaranteed, and indexed, which all offer permanent protection with lower premiums than whole life insurance.
Long-Term Care (LTC)
Help protect your assets from potential loss due to long-term care needs. Traditional LTC insurance provides discounts for couples along with potential state income tax credits. We offer state partnership plans and non-partnership plans.
Hybrid LTC Plans
These popular plans combine the benefits of life and long-term care insurance to offer protection from critical illness and provide added death benefits for beneficiaries.
Disability
For individuals, disability income insurance can help protect your income if you’re out of work due to illness or injury. For businesses, you can protect your income as well as overhead costs with Overhead Expense insurance.
Fixed Annuities
If you’re looking at ways to provide future income, these fixed contracts offer choices for highly competitive savings rates in a tax-deferred package.

Insurance FAQs
For certain policies, we can offer expedited underwriting and waive the in-person medical exam requirement.
The right kind of life insurance can be used to generate income during retirement. Properly structured, a life insurance policy can provide many years of tax-free income to the owner. A well-planned life insurance policy can also self-complete prior to retirement in the event of a pre-retirement disability of the insured.

We provide a no-cost, no-obligation Insurance Policy Review for anyone who requests it, no matter what insurance company you have. Why do a review? Because things have a way of changing over time. What if your income has increased and you need more coverage? Or what if you lost weight, or you quit smoking? This might be the time to let your carrier know so you can get a discount. On the other hand, what if your family status has changed and you don't have the correct beneficiaries anymore? For these reasons and many more, we highly recommend a periodic policy review.
A new home is both a dream realized as well as a tremendous financial responsibility. How would the mortgage be paid if the primary income-earner becomes disabled, or worse yet, dies prematurely? The good news is we have answers! Our insurance professionals can help you find ways that can help. Reach out to us today for a consultation.
Life insurance can be there for more than just final expenses and can help with:
