About Me - Why I Do What I Do
My Why: Faith First, Purpose Always
Before I am a broker, before I am a business owner, and before I am anything else,
Serving God and coming to faith has been at the center of everything I do. My life, my family, and my work are grounded in the belief that we are called to love, to serve, and to be faithful stewards of what God entrusts to us. Scripture makes this clear:
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
That verse is not inspirational to me — it is instructional.
My involvement in my church community and my service to others are not separate from my professional life. They are the reason for it. Faith has taught me that preparation is not fear, protection is not greed, and planning is not a lack of trust in God — it is an act of obedience and love.
This is the foundation of my “why.”

WHY — A Marriage Rooted in Love, Service, and God’s Design
I am profoundly blessed to share my life with my wife, and our marriage is one of the clearest examples of God’s grace in my life.
We strive to live out 1 Corinthians 13 — a love that is patient, kind, selfless, enduring, and rooted in truth. Our marriage is not about convenience; it is about service. Serving one another, growing in our faith together, and placing God at the center of our home has shaped how we live and how we love.
Protecting my wife spiritually, physically, and financially is not simply a role I take seriously — it is a calling God has entrusted to me. Life itself is a blessing, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to walk beside her, grow together in faith, and build a life centered on love and purpose.
This lived experience is why I approach protection with reverence and responsibility — because I know what it means to love someone enough that their security becomes non-negotiable.
→ If you believe marriage and family are sacred responsibilities, you will understand why I do this work the way I do.
My Why: Leading My Children in Faith, Responsibility, and Love
Being a father is one of the greatest honors God has entrusted to me.
God has entrusted me to lead my children - making Him the priority in our home above all else. I want our family to be rooted in prayer, scripture, and acts of kindness, so that my children grow up knowing what it means to follow Christ and serve with purpose.
I am deeply grateful for my children and the privilege of leading them toward lives of faith, service, and love for others. Scripture speaks plainly about this responsibility:“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith…”
Providing does not only mean income—it means foresight, preparation, and stewardship. I thank God daily for allowing me to be a faithful steward of what He provides, so my children are never left without care, guidance, or protection.
That responsibility is the same one I carry when I help other parents prepare for the future.
→ If protecting your children is non-negotiable for you, you are in the right place.
My Why: Honoring My Parents and a Legacy of Sacrifice
I am deeply grateful for my parents, whose faithful service to God and each other over more than 43 years has shaped every part of who I am. Their steadfast love, devotion, and quiet sacrifices have been a living testimony of perseverance, humility, and unwavering commitment. What they have modeled in daily life is the foundation of my own faith and mission.
My father’s story is one of extraordinary courage and sacrifice. As a Vietnam War Veteran and former POW in Cambodia, he faced unimaginable trials. Later, he volunteered at Ground Zero during 9/11, again putting others before himself. His selfless service exposed him to Agent Orange and 9/11 contaminants, leading to Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia. His legacy is one of honor, resilience, and compassion—a reminder of the cost and calling of true service.
It has been a blessing and an honor to care for my father while he was here in Texas for a short time, alongside my children. These moments—sometimes difficult, but always sacred—have left a profound mark on our family. They remind us to cherish every day and to serve with the same humility and love that my parents have shown throughout their lives.
Walking through that season—helping my mother care for him and witnessing firsthand how chronic illness changes families—fundamentally reshaped my purpose. It is one of the primary reasons I specialize in living benefits and chronic illness protection, especially for Veterans and Active-Duty Military, who deserve far more than minimal coverage.
My father now resides in a veterans’ facility near Hollywood, Florida, where my mother visits him every day. Though he is mostly nonverbal now, we are overwhelmingly grateful to still have him with us.
He is a foundational reason I specialize in ensuring Veterans and Active-Duty Military have access to benefits far beyond SGLI and VGLI, because those who give so much for our country deserve nothing but the best.
My grandfather, a World War II Veteran, was also a tremendous blessing to our family and loved his grandchildren immeasurably. Service runs deep in my family, and I carry that legacy with purpose.

My Why: A Family Legacy of Service to Others
I come from a family where service is not an idea—it is a way of life.
My cousin Albert Castiglia, a professional blues musician, brings joy, connection, and healing to countless people through his music. His gift is a reminder that serving others can take many forms, all equally meaningful.
“With God, all things are possible.”
Her legacy continues through the organization she founded, which still serves others today.

Her example remains a constant reminder that a life lived for others is a life of fulfillment and purpose.
HOW — How I Serve Families Differently
Because of my faith, my family, and my experiences, I approach this work differently.
- I listen first.
- I educate honestly.
- I serve without compromise.
Most importantly, my services are 100% free of charge.
I do not charge clients for consultations, reviews, or planning. I am compensated directly by the insurance and annuity companies, not by you. This allows me to act as an advocate — not a salesperson.
- Compare multiple top-rated carriers
- Secure better benefits and pricing
- Save money, often while improving coverage
- Make informed decisions without pressure or obligation
What I Do (Because of My WHY)
As a licensed life insurance and annuities broker, I help families, veterans, and individuals secure protection that serves them while they are living, not just when life ends.
Cash-Value & Wealth-Building Strategies
I specialize in policies that accumulate cash value, including:
- Dividend Paying Whole Life Insurance
- Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
- Return of Premium (ROP) Term Life
- Return of Premium Accidental Death
- Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) strategies
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”
— Proverbs 13:22
Living Benefits & Protection
I also specialize in:
- Critical Illness protection
- Chronic Illness protection
- Terminal Illness benefits
- Living benefits that provide financial support when it’s needed most
I focus on education first — helping clients understand what exists, what fits, and what truly serves their family.
My Commitment to You
This work is not a job — it is a calling.
My faith teaches me that providing, preparing, and protecting are acts of obedience and love. When I help protect your family, I do so with the same care, prayer, and seriousness I bring to protecting my own.
You can get service from anyone.
But the commitment I bring is part of who I am.
That is my WHY.
And that is what I bring to every family I serve.
All of this is why families choose to work with me — not only because of who I am and what I stand for, but because God has equipped me to do this work with excellence. I take my calling seriously, I serve without compromise, and I happen to be exceptionally good at what I do. 🙏
