My Story

Jim has a passion for helping seniors and others with a wide array of insurance and financial solutions. He stands by his mission to promise to listen to what is important to you, find a solution that meets your need, and do so in the most cost-effective way possible. He can assist with Medicare Supplement and Advantage plans, home health care and long-term care plans, hospital indemnity plans, and special indemnity plans (for cancer and heart attack costs). His desire is to help protect your retirement or regular investment plans from stock market risks, and he would be glad to discuss burial and final expense plans, as well as life insurance needs.

Jim is well-traveled. Born in San Jose, California, he attended Leland High School in Almaden Valley. His passion was basketball, and he played there and at California State University at Chico. After obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, he was afforded the opportunity to continue his basketball career in Wollongong, Australia. Jim was fortunate enough to enjoy 10 years there with the Illawarra Hawks. While there, he began his career in financial services with The Prudential of Australia.

​

After returning to the United States, Jim's thirst for knowledge of the financial industry led him to achieve his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designations. His desire to be able to assist more people with more comprehensive services led him to achieve his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation.

Jim left California in May of 2017 to move to Plainfield, due to a relationship he had established with a special woman named Laura. He no longer does comprehensive financial planning, but has decided to focus primarily on the insurance aspect of financial stability.
