Meet

Merle Gilley

President and Founder of TriQuest USA

Merle Gilley is the president and founder of TriQuest USA 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 USA because it was the best way he could fulfill his vision.

Triquest USA is proud to be one of the premier Index Universal Life distribution teams in the country. We train our agents and advisors on how to use IUL effectively and correctly to help themselves and their clients achieve something only 5% of Americans have—financial independence. Financial independence is having enough money to not ever have to worry about it. So why do only 5% of Americans ever achieve that goal? They are following rules of money that were designed not to work. TriQuest USA’s goal is to teach our agents how to inspire their clients to believe financial freedom is possible. We target the right market using the right tools—and we get results.
