    He held a Masters of Financial Services from the American College and was a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), and a Registered Financial Consultant (RFC).   He was also a Life Qualifying Member of the Million Dollar Round Table for 50 years and was awarded many honors, awards, and trips for his success in insurance and financial planning.
