Since my graduation from Univ of Ark, with a B.S in Chemical Engineering, I have acquired extensive experience in project management, cost estimation, financial analysis & business ownership (both sales & manufacturing) prior to my career in financial services which has included extensive experience in improving the insurance awareness of my clients, qualified retirement plan design and Special Needs Planning. I have organized educational workshops about insurance, investments, business formation, special needs planning and caregiver concerns for their dependents such as: government benefit eligibility for Medicaid, Medicare, review of guardianship, conservatorship, client advocacy issues and proper use of life insurance as a funding method for long term care and legacy planning. I have owned 4 companies, negotiated government contracts, completed grant requests, managed large group benefit plans, designed both qualified and non-qualified retirement plans and implemented programs with USDA, GSA, associations, municipalities and churches. I have experience with cyber security issues, financial statements, performance assessments and Chief Compliance Officer duties.
