Susan Creasy CLU, B.P.H.E., B. Ed.
Chartered Life Underwriter
Susan embraced the life insurance and investment business as it provided her with an opportunity to educate and help individuals develop financial goals, estate plans, and independence. From the early days, Susan wanted to be a self-employed entrepreneur in control of her destiny and to have the ability to give back to others. Much of Sue’s success can be attributed to her entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, openness to new ideas, and excellent relationship-building skills. Clients choose to do business with Sue primarily because of the level of trust she develops with them, and that trust is reflected in the two or three generations of families in her client base.
