I've known Ed for 16 years now and he has helped me when other insurance providers either turned me down or simply... didn't want to deal with me at all. I have a lot of medical issues that make it difficult if not impossible to be insured but Ed worked with me to keep my policy active. He also gave me a 'heads-up' to save me money by renewing prior to an age related rate increase. I would recommend Ed (and have) to anyone looking for coverage- one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.read more

We Really DO Come Through for our Clients.

“Ed, I just wanted to drop you a line. I wanted to Thank You for your professionalism in following up with my request for insurance. I was feeling a little down when I was turned down by two companies due to the PSA results. When I applied with your company I thought I would be turned down also, but I guess all agents aren’t created equal. Hey just wanted to let you know that I will recommend your services to any one that I know who may be looking for Life Insurance.”
