I have been a licensed agent since 1973. Through the mid-70's I worked full-time as an insurance agent for life and health. Following that time, I worked as a computer programmer, working my way up to senior software engineer. At the same time I kept up my insurance practice on a very limited basis.
In 1996, I decided to go back to the insurance business and this time start my own agency.
My practice includes reviewing and placing insurance plans for individual health through Access Health CT, Life, Long Term Care and Annuities. I also work with people on their supplemental Medicare insurance. I have chosen not to offer property and casualty insurance.
I have been a featured educator on the topic of Social Security and Medicare for AAA Northeast and have an NSSA certification (National Social Security Association). These workshops help retirees learn strategies to get the most out of Social Security retirement benefits and understand their Medicare health insurance options.
In order to continue to serve my clients well I need to be aware of the constant changes in the field and get certified regularly to offer new product and services. I have lived in Danbury for over twenty years with my wife and children. I adopted 3 of my 4 children, including siblings from an orphanage in Brazil. I am active in my local church currently serving as treasurer of the Parish council. I am a member in good standing of both the Bethel Chamber of Commerce and Professional Connections Networking Group.
