Tax & Financial Group’s (TFG’s) David Alarid, an Associate Partner who has been with the firm since 1987, spoke on the main platform at this year’s meeting of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT). Founded nearly 100 years ago, MDRT is the leading global, independent association of life insurance and financial services professionals from more than 500 companies in 70 nations and territories worldwide.

For over 30 years, Alarid has specialized in guiding individuals, families, and businesses on the accumulation and preservation of wealth through comprehensive investment, retirement, estate, and business strategies as well as life, health, and disability insurance programs. His MDRT presentation highlighted that while people often think in terms of “probability” when it comes to life insurance, “consequences” is actually a more accurate word.

“I was honored to be at David’s first MDRT presentation in Las Vegas in 2003,” says TFG Founder Dick McCloskey. “It takes time and experience to advance to the level to be asked to speak on the main platform at the annual meeting. Over the years, David has become a fantastic resource not only for our firm and its clients, but also for the industry at large.”

David enjoys giving back through mentoring other professionals and speaking to groups all over the country. In addition to appearances for MDRT, Alarid has been a featured speaker for State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, NAIFA, Securian Financial Services, Mountain West Farm Bureau, Catholic Life, and Grupo Nacional Provincal. He has been featured in media outlets including the New York Daily News, Reuters, Yahoo Finance, and the Boston Globe. This was his first presentation on the main platform at MDRT, and he is the first TFG professional to earn that opportunity.
