• Senior Vintrepreneur

  • Sep 1994 - Present

  To know who I am and what it is that I do, you would first have to understand the term "Vintrepreneur." A Vintrepreneur is a professional who knows, understands, appreciates, and teaches the intricacies of all things wine and related to wine, from when and how a grapevine is planted until its fruit is transformed into wine, then packaged, shared, sold, enjoyed, and beyond. With nearly 30 years of direct experience in nearly all facets of wine growing and wine appreciation, this is who I am and what I love to be. Moreover, I enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge with others. Sharing my love and passion for wine appreciation with others is paramount to my being. Please join me in my passion. Show less

  • Aug 2018 - Aug 2020

  Now that I am retired from my criminal justice career after 32, my new career in financial services/insurance continues my passion for helping others. Home mortgage protection, disability, accidental death, annuities, and universal life are just a few of the products we offer. This industry is one that continues to grow and change. Every year, people are living longer and suffering less from major diseases. The insurance companies are now offering plans for many of those folks who could never before qualify for any sort of life insurance benefit to help protect their home and loved ones. Coverages are higher, rates are lower, and many plans don't require a medical assessment. It's a great time for younger folks to get insured, so that it follows them throughout their lives. And it's never too late for more senior folks. It's my role to find the best coverage, at the least cost, to provide the best value for our clients that will provide protection for their loved ones in the event of a death or disability. As a broker, I shop more than 30 major life insurance companies to put together the best options that are affordable. I love the challenge, and I love helping others. And, I'm looking for others to join me in this career. If you'd like to try something different, if you are taking early retirement and looking for a good-earning profession that helps others, or if you are unemployed or under-employed, please contact me. I'm currently in the process of building my own team and network of great underwriters. You can live anywhere in the nation, wherever there are people that can benefit from what we do. Show less
