I’m truly honored to receive the NAIFA-Arizona Advisor of the Year Award this year. I’ve been in the insurance and financial services business for nearly 25 years, and joining NAIFA early in my career was one of the best decisions I ever made. It not only encouraged me to get involved, but also to give back — I’ve had the privilege of serving as both local and state president in the past. I have also served as the political involvement leader for New York Life’s Tucson General Office. This coincided with my time in NAIFA, and sent me to both the Capital in Washington, DC, and the State Capitol in Phoenix, AZ several times on behalf of my clients, and our industry. I have truly enjoyed my career with New York Life where I have achieved Council Membership for many years, and Senior NYLIC status, to name a couple. Council is an annual company recognition program based on agent production and Senior NYLIC is awarded to agents who have represented New York Life for twenty years.

Together, New York Life and NAIFA have shaped me as a Financial Professional and, more importantly, connected me with incredible colleagues and lifelong friends. Over the years, I’ve learned that success in this business comes from integrity and showing up — not just for your clients, but for your community, your peers, and, of course, your family.
