After serving 9 years in the United States Air Force, I wanted to open a small business that would enrich my community and create more job opportunities. The Life Insurance industry has given me the privilege to provide a deeply important service to families all over the U.S.

Life insurance can give you lasting peace of mind in terms of the assurance that you have provided a legacy. That’s because the right coverage can offer a valuable combination of benefits, many guaranteed by the claims-paying ability of our A+ rated carriers —so that you and your loved ones know exactly what you’re getting.3 Of course, you have to make a long-term commitment to paying premiums and keeping the policy in force. Some of the most common reasons for buying life insurance include:
3. Tax-free benefit
Your beneficiaries will be able to enjoy every penny you leave them. That’s because the benefit of a life insurance policy is generally passed along federal income tax free.
4. Guaranteed cash value growth
As you pay your premiums, your Whole Life policy builds cash value that is guaranteed to grow—tax deferred—and can help meet a variety of financial goals:
5. Dividend potential
One of the benefits of purchasing whole life insurance is that you will be eligible to receive dividends. Although they are not guaranteed, when dividends are awarded, you can take them in cash, use them to offset your premiums, or use them to buy paid-up additional insurance that increases your coverage and cash value, use them to offset your premiums, or take them in cash.
6. Optional riders
There are several ways to tailor a whole life policy to meet your individual needs. For an additional cost, you can use riders to purchase additional protection without further underwriting, to pay your premiums if you become disabled, to use some of your face amount to pay for chronic illnesses, or to purchase coverage for your children. Your agent can help you decide if any of these riders are right for you.
