Hello! My name is Darren Woo. Thank you for visiting my Web site. For the last 30 plus years I have been working with people in the areas of life insurance, retirement planning, investments, college education savings, long term care insurance, and individual and group health insurance1.
In 2012, I celebrated my 20th year with New York Life, and achieved Senior NYLIC status. While I do not feel like a "senior," I know that I am closer to retirement age than I was when I started in this business. I have seen and experienced first hand what a disciplined financial and insurance strategy can do for my many clients.
The greatest lesson I have learned in this business is that the sooner you start saving, investing or purchasing various insurance products, the better off you will be. Systematic, monthly saving and investing is key to help establishing and building financial freedom and independence.
It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to share what I have learned over the last 3 decades, and I respect the individual needs and objectives of each of my clients.
Preparing for your financial future can be intimidating. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. As a New York Life agent, and a Registered Representative of NYLIFE Securities LLC, I am a trained professional who can help you identify your financial needs and then determine which insurance and financial products can best help you meet your objectives.
Please use my Web site as a resource, and do not hesitate to contact me for additional information or to schedule a meeting. Thank you for your interest.
