Currently a candidate for governor of Georgia and an attorney in private practice, David has seen his needs for various kinds of financial security swing dramatically over the years. Craig MacKenzie, his longtime National Life agent, has delivered the kind of service that David can appreciate.

“As my economic and family situation changed throughout the years - my children growing up, being in private practice, and then being in and out of government service – I’ve needed to switch back and forth among policies and among various financial instruments,” he says. “National Life has been very flexible, and Craig has been very creative.” A case in point, he notes, is a recent life policy he acquired. “It fits my current family situation perfectly. And it was a model I had not thought of.”
