The Life & Annuity Team

Sales Manager

Born and raised in Chandler, AZ. I married my Highschool sweetheart and we just celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary in 2020. We have four children that keep us on our toes and constantly laughing. It truly takes a village to raise children, and we are very grateful for the community that we live in.         

Marrying my best friend and having the opportunity to raise our children in our hometown. My family is my passion!

When I am able to use my abilities to affect those around me positively. I hold to the truth that “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”  - Will Durant

Alexander the Great. My namesake has always intrigued me. Tutored by Aristotle at the age of thirteen, he went on to create one of the largest empires of the ancient world by the time he was thirty. Alexander not only was undefeated in battle, he grew to become one of the most influential people in history.

I live in Manhattan, no not that one. Think the polar opposite and you have Manhattan Illinois. I am married to Catherine and have been for 28 years and we have a lovely daughter Rachel, who is 23.

Making it 23 years with this awesome organization.

If I am not sobbing openly I feel I have had a good day. Seriously, if cases get written and paid and no agent is newly disappointed. That is a good day.

Joe Racich. I always take any chance I get to sit down with Joe.

I have lived in IL my entire life, and I love it. I have a wonderful husband, son and dog.

My son is my proudest accomplishment, he is the best part of everyday.

That I finished all the tasks I received throughout the day and that everyone has what they need for the client appointments they have scheduled.

I would want to meet my husband and son at Starbucks, because I love spending as much time as possible with them.

I want to travel to all of the states in the United States, ride in a helicopter, and buy a lake house.

Annuity and Life Sales Consultant. My responsibilities are to assist advisors on Product Support and Case Design for both Life Insurance and Annuities.

I grew up in the small town of Fountain Hills where Brokers Alliance is located. Fountain Hills is known for having one of the largest man made fountains in the world and can shoot up to 560 ft in the air. My family and I are very close! My brother and I have lived together since 2010 and just recently sold our property and went our separate ways. We still maintain family dinners weekly to stay close.

My goal for every workday is to leave it all on the table. If I walk away knowing that I did, it was a success.

Mark Cuban and it wouldn't be for coffee…It would be for a beer.

Skydiving, Thailand, and riding a unicorn.

I am the Marketing Director for our Exclusive, Proprietary Lines Division here at Brokers Alliance.

Arizona Native. Peoria specifically. I have a small tight knit immediate family that means everything to me but have a good amount of relatives in Oklahoma and Texas.    

I don’t know if I have one particular accomplishment I am the proudest of. However, my little Brother’s High School Graduation is one of my proudest moments.

I was told along time ago that when it comes to life as long as you are doing the best you can as much as you can, nothing can be considered a failure. So as long as I’ve done the best I can as much as I was able to, I consider the day a success.

My Grandfather, Charles Cramer. He died when I was really young and as a grown man, being a direct descendant, hearing his insight and perspective I feel would be extremely rewarding.

If I want to sleep, when I lay down after work and I start dozing off, I know it's been a good day!

I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky- home of the Kentucky Derby, Louisville slugger, and Muhammud Ali! I have a very close knit family and when we aren’t vacationing together, we’re relentlessly teasing each other. I have a son named Harlan and I am engaged to be married next March. Family is my motivator!

Hunter S. Thompson! He is one of my favorite authors, from my hometown, and lived an incredible life through his creation of gonzo journalism.

I live in the heart of West Texas where Friday night Football rules and Rodeos are a way of life. I am the proud mama of a blended family of 5 children (4 girls, 1 boy) and Mamaw to 1 grandson and 1 granddaughter.     

I look at the conversations I had with agents.  If I was able to represent BA professionally and with a strong belief in what we do then I was successful.

I despise starbucks so we would have to meet somewhere else :-).  Dolly Parton, I want to know how she has managed to handle the criticism early in her career, managed to become one of the wealthiest self made  women in the U.S. and still maintain her positive outlook and hang onto a kind heart.

If I don’t have work on my mind when I am off. As long as work isn’t running through my mind, I know I completed all the task that needed to be done.

Agent Relationship Manager

Born and raised in Novi, MI, a suburb of Detroit.

I am an Agent Relationship Manager which means I get the opportunity to talk and relate with agents so that I can serve, add value, and increase the success of their book of business.

I was born and raised in Central Valley (California) in a small city called Merced. I have four older siblings that all swam and played water polo growing up and then they all joined the military. One of my goals growing up was to follow in their footsteps and serve my country too.

Life took an unexpected turn for me when I lost my foot at 11 years old in a devastating lawn mower accident. Determined to not give up after this tragedy and turn it into a story of triumph, I swam throughout high school, went pro in swimming after, and earned my spot on Team USA competing in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games achieving the goal of serving my country. Many would think that this is my proudest accomplishment, but marrying my wife Emma, having a soon to be baby, and living my life for the glory of God is what it’s all about.

If I was able to influence or inspire at least one person, then I’ve achieved success.

I’d like to meet anybody for a cup of coffee! Let’s go right now!

1. Have a wife
2. Own a home
3. Start a family

I think I’ve achieved all of those and I’m beyond grateful every day.
