Host

Mike Sheets

Mike Sheets started with the Company in 2006 as an agent with Globe Life sister company, American Income Life. He advanced through the ranks before moving into his current role with Liberty National Division. Mike decided to commit to Liberty National Division because the Company has been around since 1900, yet has the growth potential of a new organization. Mike believes those two factors make a great combination, and he wants to help bring Liberty National Division to the top of Globe Life once again.
