Francis Cabrini, Analyst

Never regretted my decision to meet with Gary. I first heard of him from a friend recommendation. At first I was sceptical, but after meeting him and listening to him explaining in details about our needs and what he can offer, truly a good experience. First impression matters, and Gary truly delivers.

Kai Wen, Engineer

Gary is a really sincere guy. He and his team came to our company to give financial literacy talk more than a month ago. It was super informative and really helpful in terms of looking at the risks and also giving us latest trends in insurance coverage. Few weeks later he came back to meet me to answer some questions about investment risks and insurance coverage that I had. He did not to try to sell me financial products but instead was trying his best to educate me about my risks and how I could reduce risk and grow my wealth in order to have a safe financial standing for retirement. He is also quick answering questions and following up via WhatsApp/ text and email. I really appreciate his work ethic and professionalism. Thank you Gary. ☺️🙏
