I'm a Virginia Beach-based licensed life insurance agent focused on delivering tailored insurance solutions that meet clients' financial needs. I build enduring relationships through personalized consultations, needs assessments, and ongoing client education, staying current with industry trends to offer informed advice. Before focusing on insurance, I worked as a professional photographer at Wade Studios, capturing weddings, portraits, and executive headshots across Virginia Beach. My creative work included exhibitions at Chrysler Museum (1982) and Rawls Arts Museum (2025), leading to a project like 'There Are Places' (2018). These experiences sharpened my storytelling, client service, and project management skills that I now bring to my advisory practice. I've been doing voice overs since high school, starting with local radio stations. If you'd like to hear me go to my Youtube page: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_
