Anders’ story: I moved to Orlando from Denmark in 2011, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my life. My career started in logistics and international transportation, spending the first five years with DSV Air & Sea, a Danish shipping company. They offered me the opportunity to work in their Orlando office, where I continued for another five years, managing exports and imports between the U.S. and countries all over the world.
After a decade at DSV, I transitioned to the customer side of logistics, helping build an internal shipping department from the ground up. Over seven years, our team grew to over 25 people, coordinating the shipment of more than 35,000 containers of plastic granules and rubber pellets for manufacturers worldwide.
After 20 years in logistics and transportation, I was ready for a new challenge—one that allowed me to apply my experience in customer service and problem-solving to directly help people in a more personal way. I’ve spent the last few years assisting individuals and families with retirement planning, life insurance, and final expense solutions. My goal is to provide peace of mind, ensuring that their future is more secure and free from financial uncertainty.
I’m excited to have partnered with Katie and Gines at Gines Insurance, who bring a wealth of knowledge and unwavering support to our team. Together, we are dedicated to helping clients with their home, auto, life insurance, and financial planning needs.
If you’re looking for guidance on protecting your assets, securing your family’s future, or planning for retirement, I’m here to help. Let’s connect!
