Licensed Life & Health Insurance Agent | Retired CPA
“Positive energy makes life fun and fulfilling — happy is a choice.”
I’m John Stump. After more than 40 years as a CPA, helping businesses and families with complex financial decisions, I found a new passion, helping fellow seniors unlock the real value in their life insurance policies.
Now, as a licensed Life & Health Insurance Agent in Missouri, I focus on life settlements, a smart alternative to lapsing or surrendering a policy you no longer need or can’t afford.
Most people don’t know they can sell these policies for significantly more than the cash surrender value. I’m here to make sure you know your options and feel confident in your decisions.
My career taught me that clarity and honesty are everything. I bring those values to every conversation, along with a simple belief:
“Positive energy makes life fun and fulfilling — happy is a choice.”
That mindset guides everything I do with Settle Advisor. If I can help someone feel confident, informed, and at peace with their decision, then I’ve done my job.
Whether I’m walking someone through a life settlement or singing at church, it all comes from the same place, a heart for service and a love for people.
