Prior to our life with PPLSI, I worked in law enforcement — crazy hours, lots of stress and a “not so great” retirement plan. Leslie owned a retail store selling police uniforms and equipment. She worked 14-hour days and was tied down to her store. We had owned several businesses in the past, everything from selling meats and seafood door-to-door to owning and running a licensed private investigator firm. So we knew what it took to work hard and be successful.

We had lots of big dreams, but we also realized that if we stayed on the path that we were on, we would never have the opportunity we wanted or be able to reach our retirement goals. I loved being a cop! I did all the fun stuff. I was on SWAT, had my own K-9, got to cruise around on a motorcycle all day and worked as a DARE Officer helping young kids learn how to handle hard situations, and I taught at the police academy, influencing young officers on how to stay safe and have integrity. It was my dream job, but most cops don’t make enough after 20 or more years to support themselves, so they have to have another source of income when they retire. As I got close to retirement, I started looking for something that would provide an opportunity for us to chase our dreams! That’s when I found PPLSI! I was working a graveyard shift and went out on a call. The owner of a local business was having an issue with one of her patrons and needed some assistance. She later introduced me to the LegalShield Membership and PPLSI opportunity by inviting me out to a live event. I saw the value in the service and signed up right away. I also understood that this was something that everyone needed, and I could really get behind! I signed up to be an associate that night as well.

Leslie and I had both worked with different network marketing companies before. Leslie wasn’t interested in yet another network marketing adventure, so she chose to sit this one out. However, I went to work right away, and she noticed the deposits coming into our checking account, which piqued her interest. A few months later I talked her into coming to a Super Saturday with Mr. Larry Smith as the VIP guest. Larry spoke her language, and after hearing what he had to say, she was in! Leslie was able to sell her store and work alongside me building our business and our residual income. We quickly learned that PPLIS was different; they held up their end with the members, and we got paid just like they said we would.

Our residual income has helped us with our retirement goals. We are able to plan our schedule and enjoy our family. We have six children, 21 grandchildren and one great grandchild! We love spending time with them and enjoy traveling and spending time with our family and friends! PPLSI continues to provide opportunities. We are grateful to be a part of such a great company and to be able to help so many families along the way! And we’re not finished yet; our time is now, and we’re just getting started!
