We help independent insurance professionals to grow and scale their practice

Merle Gilley is the president and founder of TriQuest and has been a successful life insurance agent since 2003. He is considered one of the nation’s leading professional trainers in the financial services industry as an Index Universal Life expert.

After serving four years in the US Air Force’s Strategic Air Command (SAC) with the 93rd Bomb Wing as a B-52 crew chief, he moved back to his hometown of Virginia Beach, VA. There he met and married his wife and together they built a successful family business. He still believes that hard work and a handshake is the best way to do business and be successful.

He became an agent after he sold his first business and needed a safe place to put his money. He found IUL, tested it to make sure it worked and found that it could benefit all Americans, not just the wealthy. He started TriQuest because it was the best way he could fulfill his vision.
