After years of navigating the health system alongside my wife through a long and exhausting battle with Long-Covid, I understand better than most what it feels like to need answers and not find them, and how much it matters to have someone in your corner who truly cares. That personal struggle is what drew me to focus on HealthMarkets, bringing together two decades of insurance experience with a deeply human understanding of what's at stake when coverage falls short. My path has been anything but conventional. Having earned degrees from Belmont, Duke Divinity, and Yale Institute of Sacred Music, I spent years in pastoral ministry serving churches, leading communities, and walking alongside people through some of life's hardest moments. That formation shaped how I approach every client conversation: with patience, honesty, and a commitment to actually listening. Insurance, like ministry, is ultimately about people, and people deserve more than a policy. They deserve a guide. For over twenty years I have worked across the insurance industry, learning its complexities inside and out so my clients don't have to. Now, with a focused practice in Health and Medicare plans, I bring that experience along with everything my wife and I lived through to help individuals and families find coverage that truly protects them. Clear answers, no pressure, and someone who has been there.
