Mat Hart, State General Agent in California, joined American Income Life in August 1999. Before he began his career with the Company he worked as a financial advisor at New York Life. Mathew was enticed to join AIL because of the products, the people, and the growth potential. People in the community started to look up to me. I became responsible for helping protect families and providing jobs. What a great feeling! I was 'all in' so to say," Mathew says about the moment he knew he'd made the right career choice with AIL. Mathew knows he's gotten to work with some great people and knows the best part of his career has been making others successful. Challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone. Work ethic is critical. No one can teach you determination; you have to be born with it." Mathew's family is his number one priority, and he enjoys golf and sports.
