Life insurance is more than a safety net. It’s a financial tool that can:
Replace lost income in the event of a death
Cover funeral and burial expenses
Pay off a mortgage or other debts
Fund your children’s education
Provide tax-advantaged growth
Create a living benefit through cash value accumulation (in the case of whole life or IUL)
Support business continuity or estate planning goals
Andrew believes every person should have access to life insurance that fits their goals and budget—not a cookie-cutter solution. That’s why he takes the time to explain every option in plain language and customize a plan that truly works for you.
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period—typically 10, 20, or 30 years. It’s a popular choice for young families, new homeowners, or anyone looking for maximum protection at a lower cost.
Andrew helps clients choose the right term length and coverage amount based on current needs and future responsibilities. Because term life policies don’t build cash value, they’re ideal for those focused solely on protection, not investment.
Best for:
Lifelong coverage with guaranteed benefits and growing value.
Whole life insurance is a permanent policy that not only provides a death benefit but also builds cash value over time. These policies come with fixed premiums, making them reliable and predictable for long-term planning.
Andrew works with clients to help them understand how whole life can be used not just for protection, but as a wealth-building tool, offering tax-deferred growth and potential dividends. He also explains how it can serve as a financial safety net during emergencies.
Best for:
An IUL policy offers permanent life insurance coverage with the ability to accumulate cash value based on the performance of an equity index, like the S&P 500. It’s a powerful option for clients who want more control over how their policy grows.
Andrew takes the time to explain how IULs work, including caps, floors, and crediting strategies—so clients can make informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed. He ensures clients fully understand both the potential and the risks, helping them decide whether this strategy fits their goals.

It depends on your stage of life, financial goals, and what you’re trying to protect. Term life is affordable and great for temporary needs, while whole life and IUL policies build cash value and offer lifelong coverage. Andrew takes the time to understand your situation and helps you choose the right fit.
A good rule of thumb is 10–15 times your annual income, but every family is different. Andrew will walk you through your current expenses, future plans, and long-term goals to help you find a coverage amount that brings peace of mind.
It doesn’t have to be. Term policies can be surprisingly affordable, especially if you’re younger and healthy. Andrew helps you compare options that fit your budget—without sacrificing protection.
Term life covers you for a set number of years, while whole life offers lifelong protection and builds cash value over time. Each has pros and cons, and Andrew will help you understand what works best for your goals.
Employer-provided policies are often limited and may not follow you if you change jobs. Andrew can help you assess your existing benefits and decide whether a personal policy can better protect your family long-term.
Yes, in many cases you can. There are policy options designed for different health profiles. Andrew works with multiple carriers and can often find solutions—even if you’ve been declined before.
Not always. Permanent policies like whole life or IUL can build cash value that you can borrow from or use while you’re still living. Andrew will help you explore how life insurance can be part of a smart, long-term financial plan.
Life changes so should your coverage. Major milestones like marriage, having a child, or buying a home are great times to check in. Andrew is always available for policy reviews to make sure your plan keeps up with your life.
