Since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 they have now begun to offer services to employers with as little as 5 employees.

Hal believes that small/mid-size businesses & individuals are key to our country’s economic success, so he is passionate about finding ways to support them.

Keys to his success are facilitating discovery sessions, listening to clients’ needs, and aligning products with what is valued, and regularly educating his clients.

In Atlanta for more than 20 years, Hal is also a sailing instructor, active in the religious interfaith community, a member of the Technology Assn of Georgia, and with his wife, recently fostered their 94th rescued golden retriever.
