He is a wealth of knowledge regarding employee benefits as a whole, and is brilliant when it comes to disseminating critical details to Benefits Agents that are looking at aligning with us.
Here's a word from Dan:
I love to learn and enjoy teaching and applying what I've learned to the benefit of those I work with.
I'm the exception out there. The guy that actually reads the entire policies word for word, studies the material, including all the fine print, and keeps up with all the changes in and out of the industry.
If a change or potential opportunity arises, I makes sure that it is addressed and clearly articulated to everyone I know may be impacted. I love breaking complex things down, and then rebuilding them to understand and appreciate how they work and if they don't, where they most likely broke down.
I think objectively, ask a lot of questions and listen very attentively. I am blessed to have a great memory and can recall most of what I learn, without much effort. That makes me a great resource to have on hand and I'm often called to have my brain picked and weigh in on tough situations or complex cases.
Together, Dan's passion of helping others, combined with his experience as a leader within the employee benefits space, risk mitigation and building wealth, make him the perfect person to lead the agency distribution team.
