Growing up on a small, family farm in Belle Plaine, MN, I know the value of hard work, and that good things come to those who are willing to get up early, roll up their sleeves, and dig in day after day. I got my start in the insurance industry in 2006 as a field agent, and like most, I didn’t know anything about anything. I was a captive agent at the time and I literally got two and a half days of training, a slap on the back, and a “Go get ‘em, tiger!” send off. 

Those early struggles inspired me to create my own training tools and to begin sharing them with other agents. That’s when I really began to realize my passion for mentoring agents and helping them succeed. Fast forward to today my role as Concierge Director for IFC National Marketing where I help independent insurance agents and financial advisors with cross-selling life insurance, long-term care, and annuities to their clients.

Clarity. Confidence. Concierge. When I work with agents and advisors, I take time to learn about areas of concern with products or their overall business, as well as untapped opportunities. My mantra is “Clarity. Confidence. Concierge.” I make sure there are clear expectations of what agents need from me, that agents and their clients are confident in the offer, and that I deliver white glove concierge service.

It all begins with a conversation and identifying what you need from me: Do you want a helping hand or do you want me to do it all? You, as the agent, are the trapeze artist, and I’m your safety net. I’ll help support you. I’ll help present. I’ll make sure everything stays on track. I respect your relationships with your clients, and I’m here to help you generate additional revenue, expand your lines of business, and achieve your long-term goals.
