Coming from humble beginnings, Jay knew the importance of hard work and resilience. These values propelled him to achieve MDRT in his very first year—an achievement he has upheld for four consecutive years (22’, 23’, 24’) including Court of the Table (COT) in 2025 and a pre-qualified MDRT for 2026. He is also an Associate Estate Planning Practitioner (AEPP®), and manages over 7-figures in Assets Under Management.
