AFLAC is the world leader in supplemental insurance. Finding the concept of supplemental insurance intriguing, Chad decided to take the leap as an independent contractor on 100% commission when he was 21. After graduating with a double major in marketing and business management, Chad was promoted in October of 2003 to a District Sales Coordinator with AFLAC. After a year as a District Manager, Chad found that there was a very powerful resource that was not being utilized to its full potential in marketing AFLAC to health insurance brokers in the Tucson area. In 2005, Chad started his current position as the Broker Development Coordinator for the state of Arizona. He was the third broker coordinator for AFLAC in the United States. Two years later, he has helped his state operation take the lead in his territory and amongst the top company wide in doing business with brokers. Chad is currently on the board of the Southern Arizona Association of Health Underwriters as well as the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisor’s Tucson chapter.
