PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Personal Economics Group, Dallas, TX July 2011 - Present
Managing Director
Licensed Life Insurance Agent (TX, NC & NM)
I create guaranteed streams of income for my clients during retirement. So once they retire, those income
streams are typically 30-50% larger than the normal distribution streams that people take. On top of that,
anywhere between 50-70% of that cash flow in retirement can be guaranteed for life no matter how long
the individual or their spouse lives.
Highlights of Achievements:
• Helped my clients in some cases double their retirement income streams
