I am proud to announce that “I’ve Gone Independent" with Financial Distributors Group (FDG). FDG is a national wholesaling firm specializing in retirement, guaranteed income and wealth preservation solutions. FDG partners with Broker Dealers, Banks and RIAs to provide Advisors and their clients innovative protection and income strategies from the most financially sound and well-respected insurance carriers in the industry. As an independent wholesaler, my 30 years of wholesaling experience will no longer be constrained to just a single product manufacturer but now I will be able to serve you with unconstrained consultation across all advisory and commissioned solutions. I welcome the opportunity to work with you again and/or for the first time to share ideas to increase your profits and effectiveness while simplifying your business. Show less
