Tyler\u2019s Story<\/h2>
Principal, TDC Life<\/em><\/p> \n <\/div>
\n
Tyler Horning began his career at TDC as a founding member of an entirely new company. After graduating from Hillsdale College with a degree in marketing in 2006, Tyler became the President of the Exclusive Marketing Company, or EMO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Tyler described the organization as \u201ca company that was created out of a change in the way that life insurance got distributed. American General, as an insurance company, didn\u2019t like working with individual producers. They wanted to deal with one company and have that company deal with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
TDC did just that. Instead of going through a marketing organization, TDC created their own high-end group, and then sold it to become Lion Street. In addition to no longer running the EMO, Tyler no longer deals with life insurance settlements and 401(k) plans, other elements of his starting role at TDC.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy role has evolved a ton,\u201d Tyler said. \u201cI\u2019m not focused on the same things as when I started….. Today I run TDC Life, our life insurance business, which started in 2011. Before that, I went to (Cleves) and said hey look, I really enjoy this, but how we\u2019re doing stuff is screwed up, and I think I can help make it better. That was kind of the first step in the evolution of running our life insurance business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyler saw a need for consistency and leadership in a life insurance segment that lacked both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWhat excited me the most is that we\u2019re on the cutting edge doing things literally no one else in the country is doing. We are involved in redefining and changing the life insurance business.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Lancaster, Pennsylvania native, Tyler\u2019s only other experience working in Toledo was a marketing internship at Rudolph Libbe. He has relished the opportunities TDC has provided him, and encourages others to do the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour career path here is what you make it. There\u2019s so much opportunity around this building and around this company. It\u2019s yours for the taking. Step up, ask questions, be interested, come up with better ways of doing things, suggest ideas, care about what we\u2019re doing, and your career is what you make it,\u201d Tyler said. \u201cThat\u2019s the only way this worked out for me. I kind of raised my hand and said here\u2019s an idea where I think I can help and have an interest in helping.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Tyler has accomplished a lot in his 12-year career at TDC, he knows he could not be successful without his team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have great people that really care and want to work hard, and they share the vision of trying to be the best we can be while building a nationally recognized firm,\u201d Tyler said. \u201cPeople really care about their job, but really they really care about their clients. I know every time we put a plan in place for our clients, it\u2019s as good as anyone can do it. We are helping people transfer wealth, plan estates, ensure their business continues, solve problems, monetize assets they didn\u2019t even know they had. We\u2019re all about helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n
