The Life & Annuity Team

Helping Insurance Agents provide annuity solutions to their clients and help manage our Annuity Division.

I’m from Southington, CT originally and have lived in AZ since 2009 and have 2 beautiful children Cameryn and Brady.

Joining the Army in 1995 and serving for 8 years.

If at the end of my day I feel exhausted, I know I gave it all.

Tom Brady, because he’s an outstanding father, husband, individual and humble role model for others.

1. Drink Guinness in Ireland. 2. Retire to a Ranch in Montana. 3. Watch my kids grow up.

Senior Marketing Director - I create and maintain relationships. I also assist in every aspect of the insurance business, including case design.

I was born in Idaho but consider Riverton Utah my hometown. It is a suburb of Salt Lake City, with a country flavor. We have high mountains and desert landscape within an hour depending on the direction. My family is small but very close, my brother has always been my best friend. I see or speak to every member on a daily basis. I feel very lucky to have such a close family.

The relationship I have with my wife and my children. My true happiness is everyone home and safe at the end of each day.

Mental fatigue and the inner feeling of productivity.

It would be my Grandpa Kenneth Dearden. He was everything I want to be, his presence and the ability to let everything come to him was unique. He taught me “patience will provide”.

1- Raise my kids to be happy and close to each other after I am gone. 2- Have an even deeper understanding of myself and the people around me. 3- Eat really good food in places far away.

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.

Man of the hour (Pearl Jam) Love that song.

Senior Life Consultant. I am responsible for everything pre-application, product knowledge, illustrations, contracting, applications, underwriting, navigating our website, making sure our agents have the tools they need for the sale, etc.

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.

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.

Agent Relationship Manager/Exclusive Lines Recruiter and I’m responsible for providing agents with the right tools to not only be able to contract but grow their business and be successful in today's Life Insurance Industry.

Grew up in Fountain Hills, AZ. I have three siblings, an older sister, a twin brother, and a younger brother.

Claiming the title of United States Marine.

I don't measure my day by success or by failures instead I analyze my days and find out what I can do better the next day to ensure success but no one can ever say they can't be more successful.

I’d meet with Clayton Kershaw and make him give me season tickets. Lol.

Backpack the Arizona trail all at once, take my girl on a trip all over Italy, and travel to the World Cup.

I am a hybrid between a life insurance agent and an agent recruiter.

My hometown is the lovely island of Puerto Rico and my family is the most awesomest thing that has existed…ever, in the entirety of all universes including the Milky Way

Finding a group of people that welcomed me into the fold, no judgement, no questions asked and, as an added effect, helping me be okay with the person that I look at in the mirror every day.

Every day is a success, dudes. You get up, laugh about it, and be better tomorrow.

Well, assuming it can be a fictional character, I would love to meet Achilles see what really happened with that heel.

I would like to be a fairy, Tinker Bell style. Run with the unicorns. Float at will :)

I’m from Albert Lea, Minnesota. I have two younger brothers, Alex and Marty.

My parents were also born and raised in Albert Lea.

When I feel like I have done everything I can do to help someone out, and followed through on everything I said I would do that day.

I was born in Fountain Hills, Arizona and resided there until I was 9 years old with my older brother and younger sister. My mother then remarried and I became 1 of 6 siblings, so my parents decided to take our “new tribe” and build a horse ranch on 10 acres in the Rio Verde area (to help keep us out of any trouble-haha!). I have to contribute my work ethic and success to my upbringing. Waking up before sunrise to care for our horses and the added responsibilities of helping to upkeep a ranch while being a “teenager” helped me to multitask and gave me a “can do” attitude. Obviously, any ranch hand goes by the same motto: “COWBOY UP”!

If I am able to confidently say that my actions taken that day either contributed to benefiting myself or the lives of those around me, I consider that to be a success.

Basically, all 3 items include traveling! I want to visit Scotland and learn to play a decipherable (and awesome) tune on the bagpipes, eat in a restaurant within the caverns of an Italian restaurant and to ride an elephant in India.

I am originally from Waterloo, IA and I moved here to Arizona in October 2018. I am an only child and am very close with both my mom and dad. I’ve always looked up to both of my parents and they have provided me with excellent examples of not only hard working professionals and loving parents, but have also have shown me day in and day out what it means to be a good person. For that I consider myself extremely lucky.

I think you can count a workday as a success if you did your absolute best, and also learned something so that the next day you can improve that best.
