President
"Any time you see a turtle, sitting on the top of a fence post, you know he had some help in getting there." -Author Unknown
This best describes Bill’s situation. Thankful for an excellent support staff, a great wife and family, and many faithful, hardworking and productive agents/managers, Bill’s primary function is RECRUITING.
Bill spends the majority of his time in the support, continued growth, and success of our established agencies and marketing groups.
