Raymond is married to his beautiful wife Pamela of 26 years and is a deacon at the church he attends. Mt Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church. For 25 years Raymond worked at GE Aviation as an Aviation Repair and Test Technician. After attending an insurance seminar put on by Ensure Financial Group and seeing the value of having final expense, pre-need burial or whole life insurance and only having to pay for it for ten years convinced me to join the team. I enjoy helping others and educating them on the importance of having such a policy.
