Risk Strategies Company

I've been in the Employee Benefits world since 2007 and I'm excited to now partner with Risk Strategies as Vice President of Business Development.  My years in this industry have taught me a lot, and the most important lesson I've learned is this:  More than anything else, employees, employers, C-level executives, owners, and HR leaders deserve a partner who...

💪 Understands the Benefits world and keeps up with innovation.
💪 Takes the time to really get to know (and WANTS to know) their company/industry/business.
💪 Willingly walks their clients through a REAL and INNOVATIVE long-term strategic benefits system based upon the needs of their employees, and the company financially.

The sad fact is that the vast majority in this industry never take the time to do these things for and with their clients. It's one of the reasons benefit rates are consistently increasing, employee satisfaction is at an all time low, and brokers are forced to move from carrier to carrier begging for a better deal. 

If you are a company and you are looking for a partner, a real partner, that will walk with you through this minefield of Employee Benefits, then let's talk.

Me and my partner Brett Bryant started a company this year called Alpha Beast because we wanted to become more familiar with an asset based business model. More traditional that we feel offers tangible benefits to our customers. With a background in digital marketing, Brett and I just wanted something that is more than just a service that lives in the digital world. So Alpha Beast was born and we are loving building this US based manufacturing company.

Sales Associate

CEO | We help businesses scale 6-7 figures with video 📈 🚀

Money Hunter representatives audit government agencies throughout the country, digging through their public records in search of lost, missing, and unclaimed funds belonging to private citizens.

We think private citizens losing their funds to faceless government agencies (a system rooted in feudal 16th century England) is completely unfair and we are determined to prevent this from happening to anyone, especially you.
