Bill
Bill graduated from the University of Oregon in 1966 and began his financial services career on March 1, 1967, in Eugene, Oregon. On October 7th of the same year, Bill and his wife, Jodi, were married in Eugene and re-located to La Grande where the business has expanded over the years into a professional financial services firm. From those early years, Bill has always been an “independent” producer, not restricted to the insurance or investment products offered by any one company.
In 1969, Bill secured his series 7 securities license thus adding equity products to the life and health insurance and annuity business. The ability to employ all financial products to a client’s financial plan, and not be restricted as a captive company producer, has been invaluable.
In 1972 Bill first qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table and has been a member every year since.
In 1980 Bill obtained his Chartered Life Underwriter designation with the American College. In 1982 he added the American College’s Chartered Financial Consultant credential.
In 1986 he was awarded the National Association of Insurance and Financial Professional’s “Senior Agent of the Year” for the state of Oregon.
Bill has been very involved over the years in the community as President of the Eastern Oregon University Foundation, Chairman of the Grande Ronde Hospital board of trustees, Grande Ronde Child Center board, President of the La Grande Country Club, President of the La Grande Industrial Development Corporation and many other community endeavors.
Bill has received the Eastern Oregon University’s “Distinguished Service” and“ Alumnus of the Year” awards. In 1989 he was named Union County Chamber of Commerce “Man of the Year.”
As his clients are now located in various parts of the country…..and with the advent of modern technology….Bill and his wife, Jodi, spend a great deal of time now at their home on the Oregon Coast where he can still actively stay connected with clients but add a new dimension in lifestyle. He makes it clear, however, that he has not retired!
