How We Got Started

After over a decade and a half working for a Fortune 500 in sales, consulting, and regional management, I made a decision that my happiness was more valuable than climbing a corporate ladder. I wanted something new, something that enabled me to directly help people without the corporate "red tape." Here I am today at Benefit Intelligence, a boutique brokerage that upholds ethics, transparency, and clients' interests at heart. Today, I have a tool box full of solutions so that members of our community can mitigate unforeseen risks and preserve their way of life.

Read more "I have been searching for months for a window company to come out and replace a window with a broken seal at my home. I couldn't find anyone from other platforms who were willing to pick it up from the warehouse, replace the glass, and haul away the damaged window. Where did i turn? To Alignable and BOOM I found Arizona Glass & Door. Sharisse had a tech out to my home with my new window and had it replaced quickly. (Within 24 hours if you don't count the weekend). I highly recommend Arizona Glass and Door. They were easy to work with, timely, knowledgeable, and customer focused."
