“AMBASSADOR OF THE MONTH “MICHAEL WILKS WITH PRUDENTIAL
Michael was born and raised in New Orleans, La.; then moved to Charleston, and graduated from Bishop England High School and the University of SC with a business degree. He was self employed in the convenience store business for 11 years. Then Michael made a life decision to sell business (even though the money was good and was working 80 hours a week) in order to be able to spend some much needed time with his family: wife Christa who works with him, and his three children Whitney, Cooper and Hampton.
He joined Prudential in 2008 because of the premium products they offer. His office in Chapin opened in February of this year in order to offer Prudential premium core products: Life insurance, long-term care insurance and retirement instruments that are the best on the market such as Annuities and Mutual funds. He is also able to offer premium personal auto, home, and extended coverage (umbrella policies) through Liberty Mutual. Other products that help clients are group and personal health insurance and disability insurance.
“My family and I have enjoyed Chapin for the past 3 years after being in Irmo for 9 years. I look forward to personally meeting as many people in our community as possible and being a resource that they can count on to help grow and protect their wealth”, says he. Contact Michael at Prudential Financial, 485 Chapin Road, Suite A in Chapin. 803-345-7671, Michael.Wilks@prudential.com
Ambassadors of the Chamber are interested members who donate their time to contacting other members of the Chamber. The Ambassadors serve as liaisons to hear members’ suggestions and concerns in order to allow the Chamber to better serve its membership
