About Us
After graduating from Tufts University I have over thirty years experience as an insurance broker. We broker Life, health, disability and dental insurance.
How We Got Started
My late mother had a brain tumor removed in 1975. Without health insurance she would have died. Desiring to help people maintain their good health, and wishing to help the families of the deceased, I was motivated to enter the field of life and health insurance.

The best options for health insurance are for employer sponsored group plans in terms of the size and quality of provider networks and and the cost. Small groups may either apply directly to the insurer using a broker either for applications directly to the insurer, or they may apply in states with small group marketplaces which may provide tax credits to the employer.
Individuals who do not want to apply through the state or federal marketplace can apply for certain individual plans directly to the insurer with or without a broker but there will not be government support in paying the premium.
Attitudes vary by state. My clients in NY and the northeast feel the pressure to provide the benefit and subsidize the premium. Clients in Texas look for ways to avoid offering health insurance to employees now that penalties have been removed. The answer varies with the location.

The insurance industry used to hire many people as agents, knowing 90% would wash out, and they would keep the producers. That has changed as companies try to cut costs and reduce real estate footprint. There are still agencies out there looking for mature workers especially for one who has a full book of contacts to prospect for insurance clients. It is a brutal field, but if you have the sales skill and a full book of prospective clients, go for it. Of course you will have to get referrals and develop prospecting techniques, because that book of prospects will eventually be used up.

It depends on the situation. Term insurance is just that: life insurance covering a limited period of time. Universal is better for long term situations such as for estate planing, trusts, and other time when the cash value is not accessible and only the death benefit is valued.

Offer both but with strong guidance as to which circumstances favor each. I would make a recommendation based on your reasoning, but be light footed in case they prefer the other choice for their own reasons.
