Over $150M In Military Pensions Protected

Long-Term Security

Peace Of Mind
You’ve never had an option other than the easy button—SGLI, SBP, VGLI. And up until now it was no big deal, it worked during your military career. But retirement changes the game. Government options might be easy to choose, but they’re rarely designed to fully protect your family. SBP only covers part of your pension. VGLI gets pricey fast. And the worst part? By the time most retirees realize they need more, it’s already too late to qualify affordably. What once felt simple could now cost your family everything.

I know how overwhelming this transition can feel—I've lived it myself, and now I help others avoid the same costly mistakes. You’ve served with dedication and distinction, and you deserve a financial plan that honors your service, and prepares you for the life you have ahead.
With 20 years of military service and nearly a decade in the private sector, I’ve helped over 150 military families safeguard more than $150 million in pension value and build plans that work, even when things don’t go according to plan. This isn’t about pushing products—it’s about protecting your family, honoring your service, and putting everything you’ve earned to work for you.

We understand the importance of keeping your spouse involved in every step of the process so your whole family feels supported, so that you both share confidence in the plan.
Implement a protection strategy that fits into your full financial picture so every part of your plan works together, and gives you clarity and cohesion.
We usually recommend at least 12 months prior to separation, because waiting can cost you. Once your medical issues are documented in your VA claim, it can affect your rating and drive up the cost—or make coverage harder to get. The best time to qualify is before those records are created.
VGLI can seem like the simple choice, but it gets extremely expensive as you age and doesn’t offer the flexibility or long-term value of private coverage. We’ll help you compare both so you can make a smart decision now—and avoid overpaying later.
That’s completely fine. Our first step is just a conversation to walk through your goals and options. There’s no pressure—we’re here to give you clarity so you can move forward when the time is right.
SBP only replaces 55% (actually closer to 40-45% after taxes) of your pension—and none of your VA disability or future civilian income. We’ll help you assess the full picture so your family isn’t left with unexpected gaps.
We work with multiple carriers to find affordable options tailored to your health, goals, and budget. And the sooner you apply, the better your chances of qualifying for the best rates.
