I’m nothing without them and they can rest assured that when I leave this earth finances will be the least of their worries…
I’m originally from Columbia, SC and a 2007 graduate of North Carolina A&T State University’s College of Business and Economics (Aggie Pride!). I’m a man faith, married to my beautiful wife of 13 years (we have 3 beautiful busy children) and I’m a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (HBB) committed to service.
Why Life Insurance?
Just a short time ago I lost my mother unexpectedly, the woman that taught me everything that I know was now gone at age 53. Since I’d never lost anyone that close to me my next thought was, what’s next? Funeral Arrangements were next and that was something that me nor my younger brother were prepared for…The main reason was because our mother never purchased another life insurance policy after she left her job to start her own business and I certainly wasn’t ready for funeral home expenses, packages etc. So not only did I lose my mother but now I had to figure out how to come up the money to ensure she had the funeral service that she deserved.
Less than a year after dealing with the loss of my mom I began to research how many Americans die without Life Insurance and it was pretty alarming. 93% of Americans believe that Life Insurance is a necessity but 3 out of 10 Households or 35 Million are uninsured not to mention the millions who are under-insured.
As my wife tells me all of the time, “once I’m focused on something, I’m laser focused” which is why shortly after researching I studied for hours to take then pass the North Carolina Life Insurance Exam so I could help educate, motivate and protect as many families as possible.
I’m grateful that you took the time out to read my story and I look forward to speaking with you soon!
