I am a proud U.S. Army Gulf War Veteran and served our country for 12 years. I attended Southeastern University and spent 17 years serving in youth ministry before beginning my insurance career in 2014.
I started in the insurance industry helping clients navigate Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Plans, and Part D Prescription Drug Plans. I quickly realized that this field allowed me to continue my lifelong passion of serving others. That calling led me to found 1st Choice Health Plans — with the mission of being the first choice for individuals seeking the right plan to fit their healthcare needs and budget.
As a veteran, I am especially passionate about ensuring fellow veterans fully understand and receive the benefits they have earned. Serving my community with integrity, education, and personalized guidance is at the heart of everything I do.
When I’m not assisting clients, I enjoy fishing, playing pool, and cheering on the Fighting Irish and the Bucs.
As an independent Licensed Insurance Broker, I specialize in helping beneficiaries and retirees navigate the often-confusing world of Medicare.
