OUR SERVICES
Strategies Designed for Protection, Growth & Retirement
Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
Indexed Universal Life insurance provides permanent life insurance protection while offering the potential to accumulate cash value based in part on the performance of a market index, subject to policy terms, limits, fees, and conditions.
For the right individual, an IUL may be incorporated into a broader strategy focused on protection, cash-value accumulation, and long-term financial goals.
Mike can help you understand how these policies work, including their benefits, costs, limitations, and whether one may fit your situation.
Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIA)
A Fixed Indexed Annuity can provide an option for individuals looking for retirement income and accumulation potential while limiting direct exposure to market losses.
We’ll help you understand how an FIA works and explore whether it aligns with your retirement timeline, income needs, and long-term financial objectives.
Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance provides permanent life insurance coverage as long as required premiums are paid and policy requirements are met.
Certain policies also accumulate cash value over time, which may make whole life insurance useful within appropriately structured protection and financial strategies.
We’ll help you understand your options and determine whether whole life coverage fits your needs.
DEBT TO WEALTH
What If Your Debt Payments Could Become Part of Your Wealth-Building Strategy?
For many families, a significant portion of monthly income goes toward debt.
The goal of a Debt to Wealth strategy is to help you take a closer look at how your money is currently being used, identify opportunities to address debt more efficiently, and create a path toward stronger long-term financial positioning.
Instead of simply focusing on what you owe today, we help you think about what you want your money to accomplish tomorrow.

Meet Mike Kozlinski
Helping People Solve Problems and Improve Their Lives
I’m Mike Kozlinski, and I’ve been in the insurance industry for three years.
What I enjoy most about this work is pretty simple: helping people solve problems and finding ways to enhance the quality of their lives.
Financial planning, debt, insurance, and retirement can quickly become overwhelming. My approach is to make those conversations easier to understand and help people see the options available to them.
Outside of work, family is a huge part of my life. My wife and I have been married for 26 years, and we have five kids ranging in age from 14 to 22.
I’m originally from Connecticut and also spent some time in Florida, but North Carolina has been home for most of my life — 33 years and counting.
When I’m not working with clients or spending time with my family, you’ll probably find me watching basketball or football.
And as a father of five, I’ve also spent many years perfecting the art of the Dad joke.
Whether you’re trying to get serious about eliminating debt, protecting your family, or preparing for retirement, I’d be happy to sit down with you, understand where you are today, and help you explore where you want to go next.
