Insurance Sales, Training, Management

OBJECTIVE
To utilize over twenty years of progressive sales and marketing of insurance (all lines) loans/mortgage, real estate and property management assignments in the private and corporate sector. Experienced in selling and marketing all lines of insurance products to the private individual, partnerships through corporate programs. Emphasis has been in the Life, P&C, Workmans compensation and Specialty insurance. To become associated with a great firm to develop and help the communities I live and work in and to help people through good, sound insurance and financial products. My success at selling and closing the sale is people trust me for I have been burned by insurance agents in the past. I know what my clients needs are and offer them a choice and will never sell them something I do not believe in or do not need. My clients become my friends and that is the way I remember the local Baltimore insurance agent was to my parents. He offered sound advice, made sure we had proper coverage and was there when a tragedy occurred.
