“Life can change in the blink of an eye—something I learned firsthand when my father’s accident changed our family forever. That experience taught me the critical importance of having proper protections in place, especially for those who put their lives on the line serving others.”
My path to becoming a federal benefits specialist wasn’t traditional. Originally, I planned to become a dentist. But when my father suffered a debilitating auto accident, I had to step up and handle responsibilities I never expected to face. Our family survived, but the lack of proper planning made an already difficult situation even harder.
That experience drives my passion for helping federal law enforcement officers protect their families. Like many of our clients, I understand the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. My goal is to ensure that the families of those who protect us are themselves protected through proper planning and strategic guidance.
Born in Delhi, India, I immigrated to the United States in 1987, eventually making Michigan my home in 1993. Today, I live here with my wife, Seema, and our daughter, Mila. When I’m not helping clients navigate their federal benefits, you can find me teaching Mila the rules of football while cheering on the Michigan State Spartans.
