“Making a difference in people’s lives in everything I do is imperative and excites me to get up in the morning. I'll treat you like family, and I would do anything to protect and take care of my family.
I also speak for who you'll be in 10, 20, or even 30 years. There's a 50% chance one member of a couple age 65 will be around at 92 and a 25% chance one will be around at 97. So, helping you to make
responsible decisions is a responsibility I take very seriously.”
