Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration is my family, especially my wife. I want my kids to see what persistence, faith, and hard work look like in real life. I also come from a tiny town in Montana where people learn early that nothing is handed to you. That mindset drives everything I do. Building Annuity Brothers Corporation isn’t just about business, it’s about helping families protect their retirement while showing others that big dreams can come from small places.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started. I’ve had wins and setbacks like every entrepreneur, but quitting has never been an option. My family, my faith, and the people we help every day keep me going. When a retiree tells me they finally feel peace of mind about their future, that’s fuel. I also believe success comes from learning through failure and continuing to move forward no matter what.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would reinvest it directly into growing Annuity Brothers Corporation. That means expanding our educational marketing so more retirees understand their options, improving our systems, and reaching more families who need protection from market losses. My mission is simple: education first, then solutions. This funding would help us accelerate that mission and reach people who deserve a safer retirement. Well, maybe a weekend family getaway too.
