The History of Wise Choices Financial
I went through a several year period during which I lost every family member I had except for my children. As the youngest in the family I was the one who had to deal with everything. From VA benefits to Medicare to Medicaid to Pension Plan Payment Elections to 401(k) allocations to estate planning not done at all and Estate Planning done horribly wrong. I had to leave my job as a Parts Manager for the Great Dane Trailer Dealership to take care of my dad’s estate.
That time was like living life in front of a fire hose, but God wired my brain to understand it.
The one thing each of them had in common is that none of them was prepared, at least in the “affairs” department.
When that time had ended, and it was time to go back to regular work it occurred to me that perhaps God had allowed me to go through that time to prepare me for a higher calling. On December 16, 2002 I started a business through which I could help others prepare for or navigate the path I had walked alone.
That lends itself to the insurance and financial planning business. I chose to open this company independently of any insurance company because I wanted to be able to help people without a sales manager in another state telling me to “SELL, SELL, SELL”. It was tough in the beginning and I worked a lot of extra jobs to stay true to my mission.
After a few name iterations I finally chose “Wise Choices Financial” when the phrase “Wise Choices Today Means No Regrets Tomorrow” came to me. Today we occupy a 2600+ sq. ft. professional office and have a team of 5 and are growing.
