A message from our founder

The Handshake Generation

We are the handshake generation. We were raised to believe that a person's word meant something, that you looked someone in the eye, shook their hand, and that was the deal. That decency is not a weakness — it is the best thing about us.

But there are people who study that decency and use it as a doorway. They know we answer the phone. They know we are polite. They know we would do anything for a grandchild who says they are in trouble.

So I started Silver Streak Senior Solutions to put simple, plain-English tools in our hands — free workshops, a large-print workbook, and one method short enough to remember when your heart is pounding. You do not have to stop being kind. You just have to make them PROVE IT™.

Recognition

Recognition With Purpose

The awards and honors below recognize the work behind Silver Streak, The Just-In-Case Plan, and the PROVE IT Method. I spent most of my life avoiding the spotlight, but this mission changed that. If recognition helps bring more attention to seniors, fraud prevention, trusted care, and the families trying to make good decisions, then I am grateful to use it for that purpose. The spotlight is not the mission. Protecting seniors is.

What a host says

“Practical, clear advice on fraud prevention that was both accessible and relevant to our audience… the large-print workbook was an excellent take-home resource.”

Senior Center Supervisor, City of North Richland Hills

An award-winning book

The Just-In-Case Plan earned First Place for Social Change at the Next Generation Indie Book Awards — one of the most respected honors in independent publishing.

The workbook that grew out of it now carries that same mission into senior centers across the country.
