Term Life
A simple, affordable way to protect the people who depend on you, for the years they need it most.
Why people choose term
The death benefit can help
Living benefits: help while you're still here
Many term policies can include accelerated benefit riders. If you face a qualifying terminal, chronic, or critical illness, a critical injury, or a qualifying diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or Lewy body dementia, you may be able to access part of your death benefit during your lifetime.
You choose how to use it: in-home care, household bills, living expenses, or home modifications.
Conversion privilege
Convert your term policy to permanent coverage later, with no new medical exam, during the conversion period. Premiums are based on your age at conversion.
Waiver of premium
An optional rider: if you become disabled, the company can waive your premiums.
Children's term rider
An optional rider that covers your children under your policy, with the option to convert to their own permanent coverage later.
Riders are optional, may have additional costs, and availability and conversion periods vary by carrier, product, and state.
Whole Life
Lifelong protection with guaranteed cash value, and the engine behind Debt2Capital™.
Non-direct recognition, participating whole life
Participating dividends
Your policy is eligible for dividends based on the company's performance. They're added to your policy and grow your cash value year after year, tax-deferred.
Non-direct recognition
When you borrow against your policy, dividends are still credited on your full cash value, as if the loan never happened. Your money keeps growing while you use it.
Paid-Up Additions
Add extra money on top of your base premium. Each dollar immediately becomes part of your cash value and dividend base, accelerating growth.
Example: You have $50,000 in cash value and take a $20,000 loan. A typical policy might credit dividends on $30,000. A non-direct recognition policy keeps crediting dividends on the full $50,000.
Why people choose whole life
Ways to use your cash value
Dividends are not guaranteed. Policy loans accrue interest, and unpaid loans and withdrawals reduce the cash value and death benefit and may cause the policy to lapse.
Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
Permanent protection with cash value growth linked to a market index, and a floor that protects your cash value from index losses.
Social Security and 403(b)s may not be enough.
Social Security benefits top out, and tax-deferred plans like 403(b)s and IRAs have annual contribution limits. The more you earn, the bigger the gap can be between what you'll need and what those plans replace. Cash value life insurance can help fill it.
Tax-deferred growth
Cash value can grow based on a market index's performance, without being directly invested in the market.
Downside protection
A floor protects your cash value from index losses. Caps and participation rates limit upside.
Flexible access
Access cash value through policy loans, with no early-withdrawal penalty like retirement plans (surrender charges may apply).
Tax-advantaged income
Because premiums are paid with after-tax dollars, a portion of distributions may be tax-free.
Tax-free death benefit
Protects your family and helps maximize the legacy you leave behind.
Living benefits
Many policies include options for early access to the death benefit for a qualifying critical, chronic, or terminal illness.
IUL is not a direct investment in the stock market. Index crediting is subject to caps, participation rates, and policy charges. Policy loans and withdrawals reduce cash value and death benefit and may be taxable.
Annuities
Protect your savings from market loss and turn them into income you can't outlive.
Growth linked to a market index with protection from market losses. Caps or participation rates apply. Can add an income rider for lifetime income.
A guaranteed fixed interest rate locked in for a set number of years, often compared to a CD, with tax-deferred growth.
Turn one lump sum into guaranteed income that starts right away, for life or for a set period.
One deposit that earns a fixed interest rate, growing tax-deferred until you're ready to use it.
Invest today for guaranteed income that begins on a future date you choose.
Optional add-ons that can guarantee income for life, even if your account value runs out. Additional fees may apply.
403(b)s, state pensions, and annuity-funded IRAs
Changing jobs or getting close to retirement? I help with rollovers into annuity-funded IRAs, so your savings can be protected from market loss and turned into dependable income.
I also help educators and public employees understand how their 403(b) and state pension fit into the bigger picture.
Annuities are long-term products. Surrender charges may apply to early withdrawals, and withdrawals before age 59½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Index-linked crediting is subject to caps and participation rates. Riders may carry additional fees.
Workplace Benefits
Worksite benefits and on-site financial education that help your team feel protected and less stressed about money.
Worksite benefits
Voluntary benefits your employees can choose, helping them protect their families at little or no cost to you.
Financial wellness talks
Engaging staff sessions on debt, money stress, and retirement readiness for schools, medical practices, first responders, and municipal teams.
Life insurance you can use while you're living.
Many term and permanent policies can include accelerated benefit riders. If you face a qualifying event, you may be able to access part of your death benefit early, while you're here to use it.
Terminal illness
An illness expected to result in death within 24 months or less.
Chronic illness
Unable to perform two of six activities of daily living, like bathing or dressing, or severe cognitive impairment.
Critical illness
Qualifying conditions such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, major organ transplant, or ALS.
Critical injury
Qualifying injuries such as coma, paralysis, severe burns, or traumatic brain injury.
Alzheimer's & Lewy body dementia
A qualifying diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or Lewy body dementia.
Use it for what you need
In-home care, assisted living, adult day care, home modifications, household expenses, and regular bills.
Accelerated benefits are paid at a discount, reduce the death benefit and any cash value, may be taxable, and may affect eligibility for public assistance programs. Qualifying conditions, limits, and availability vary by carrier and state. Accelerated benefit riders are not long-term care insurance.

Insurance & annuity questions
How much life insurance do I need?
It depends on your income, your debts, your mortgage, and your family's future plans, like college. We'll work out a real number together in your free review.
What's the difference between term and permanent coverage?
Term covers you for a set number of years and usually costs the least. Permanent coverage, like whole life or IUL, lasts your whole life and builds cash value along the way.
I already have coverage through work. Isn't that enough?
Often it isn't. Workplace coverage is usually a small multiple of your salary, and it may not follow you if you change jobs. It's worth a quick look.
Do I need a medical exam?
Not always. Many policies can be approved with a few health questions and no exam. It depends on your age, health, and the amount of coverage.
Can I roll my 403(b) or IRA into an annuity?
Often, yes. Rolling eligible retirement savings into an annuity-funded IRA can protect it from market loss and create dependable income. We'll review your plan's rules and any costs first.
What does it cost to talk with you?
Nothing. Your review is free, with no obligation to buy anything.
