Welcome to the DarkHorse Blog: Real Solutions. Real Talk. Real Legacy.

Hi, I’m Guy Bester, a U.S. Army veteran and co-founder of DarkHorse Insurance Solutions. I help families and especially fellow service members protect what matters most, from their mortgage and health to the legacy they want to leave behind.

This blog was built with one goal in mind:
To empower you with simple, no-fluff financial education and real-world strategies that work.

💬 Why I’m Writing This Blog

After transitioning out of the military, I realized there were so many things I wish I had done differently.
Not just financially but in how I planned for life beyond the uniform.

Nobody hands you a playbook for that transition. That’s why this space exists.

Whether you’re still serving or already on the civilian side, I want this blog to be a resource you can trust filled with practical advice, smart financial tools, and lessons learned the hard way… so you don’t have to repeat them.

🔑 What You’ll Find Here

Each week, I’ll cover topics like:

• ✅ Mortgage Protection & IUL Strategies – How to protect your home now and build tax-free wealth for the future

• ✅ Life & Health Insurance – What coverage you really need (and what to avoid)

• ✅ Legacy & Financial Planning – Tips for building generational wealth, even if you’re starting late

• ✅ Soldier-Specific Series: “Before You ETS” – Lessons I wish I knew before transitioning out

🎯 Who This Blog Is For

• Active-duty service members thinking ahead

• Veterans navigating civilian life

• Families looking to protect their assets

• Anyone ready to make smarter financial moves without the jargon

Whether you're looking for the right insurance plan, a long-term retirement strategy, or just someone who speaks your language you're in the right place.
