How I Help

Six product lines. One advisor.
Zero quotas.

I’m independent — not tied to any single carrier, not chasing a sales target, not getting bonuses for pushing a specific plan. Every recommendation is built around what fits your situation.

What “Independent” Actually Means

Three things my way of doing this changes for you.

I shop every carrier I’m appointed with.

Most agents represent one or two carriers and recommend whichever pays them best. I'm appointed with the major carriers in your area, so I can compare every plan side-by-side and pick the one that actually fits you.

You pay the same plan price either way.

The carriers compensate me when you enroll, and that compensation is built into the same plan price you'd pay calling the carrier yourself. You get the help — without paying a dime more.

No quotas, no managers, no sales pressure.

I work for myself. There's nobody behind me with a clipboard pushing me toward a specific plan or chasing a monthly number. That means the recommendation you get is the one I actually believe is right.

What Working Together Looks Like

From first call to enrolled in five steps.

No mystery. No pressure. No hidden fees. Here’s exactly what happens.

01

You call or text me

30-minute call, on Teams or by phone. No sales pitch, no commitment. I ask about your situation, your doctors, your budget, your timeline.

Time: ~30 min
02

I shop carriers for you

I run your specific zip code, your doctors, your medications across every plan I'm appointed for. Usually takes me a day or two.

Time: 1–2 days
03

We meet to review

We sit down — kitchen table or Teams — and I walk you through the top 2–3 plans side-by-side. Premium, out-of-pocket, your doctors, your prescriptions. No jargon.

Time: ~45 min
04

I handle the paperwork

When you've decided, I walk you through the enrollment form right then — by phone or in person. Coverage starts on your first eligible day. No homework for you.

Time: Same day
05

I'm your call for life

Claims that get denied. Bills that don't make sense. Doctor changes. New plan year. Adding a family member. Whatever comes up — you call me, not the 800 number.

Time: Forever
The Question I Get Most

Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement.

One vs. the other — not both. They’re structurally different products and the right answer depends on you.

Best For

Most seniors aging in. People whose doctors are in-network and want extras like dental/vision included.

Snowbirds and frequent travelers. Folks with significant ongoing care needs who want max freedom.

John’s Honest Take

“For most of the seniors I talk to, Medicare Advantage is the right call. I own one. So does my wife. So do most of my closest friends. But when a Supplement fits — usually for snowbirds or folks with specific care needs — I’ll tell you that too.”

The Cost To Work With Me

$0.
Yes, really.

There is no consultation fee. There is no markup on the plan. There is no “hourly rate.” You don’t sign a contract with me.

The carriers pay me a flat amount when you enroll — the same amount whether you came through me, called them direct, or signed up online. That compensation is built into the plan price. You pay the same either way.

What you get for working with me: someone who reads the fine print, picks up the phone when a bill arrives that doesn’t make sense, and walks you through every form.

Common Questions

Before you call, these come up a lot.

No jargon, no sales pitch. The answers I’d give if you called me on the phone right now.

See the full Resources page
When should I start the Medicare conversation?
Six months before your 65th birthday. That gives us time to compare plans, coordinate with any employer coverage, and have your enrollment in by the right date so coverage starts on day one without a penalty.
I'm not 65 yet. Why call you now?
Because the right time to make these decisions is BEFORE you're under enrollment-window pressure. We can talk early, lay out a timeline, and have a plan ready when your birthday window opens — no scrambling, no missed deadlines.
What information do you need from me on the first call?
Almost nothing. Your zip code, your doctors' names, a list of your prescriptions, and your general timing. No Social Security number, no banking info — that comes later, only if you decide to enroll.
Do you offer plans outside Tennessee?
I'm currently licensed in Tennessee with reciprocal licenses in additional Southeastern states coming online as I add them. If you're outside Tennessee, call me anyway — I'll either help you directly or refer you to someone I trust in your state.
What if I already have a plan and just want a second opinion?
Happy to. Bring your current plan documents and your prescription list and we'll see if what you have is still the best fit. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. I'll tell you straight.
Do I have to switch carriers every year at open enrollment?
No. Most years, if your plan is still working for you, we leave it alone. We only switch when something has changed — your prescriptions, your doctors, your health, or the plan's terms. Open enrollment is a checkpoint, not a deadline to change.

Ready to talk? Let’s find 30 minutes.

No pressure. No quotas. I’ll listen, ask a few questions, and if I can help you I’ll tell you how. If I can’t, I’ll tell you that too.

I read every text. Even on Christmas.
