Nick on 'what he does'

"I help clients secure comprehensive coverage, affordably. Protecting your financial future, within your budget. Insurance isn't one-size-fits-all. There are hundreds of plans to choose from, all in seemingly different languages. I help make the comparisons apples-to-apples and decipher the fine print so my clients know the pro's and con's of each choice."

"I remove complexity from insurance so you can make informed decisions. I know the underwriting guidelines; I know how health care reform is going to affect you now versus 3 years from now; I memorize hundreds of insurance policies and speak with insurance companies daily so my clients don't have to. They never have to call an 800 number. They call me, and get answers right then, right there.

Woody on 'what he does'

"Insurance is personal. I like to get to know my clients and their families, so when I look through the hundreds of available options, I can recommend what fits their individual needs. "

"Have you ever gone to the doctor or hospital and gotten a bill a few weeks later that you couldn't understand? Has your company switched insurance plans and left you wondering what your coverage is? That's where I come in. Don't worry about dealing with insurance companies, just call me."

"Having an elderly parent with inadequate health and no Long Term Care coverage has opened my eyes to the needs of all seniors. Let's make sure that when you retire, you and your children won't have to worry."

Jack on ‘what he does’

“Many insurance professionals are not true experts in the life insurance market. Some only sell for one company; others don’t have the resources to quote all insurance companies.”

“Through a combination of 30 years of experience and utilizing new technologies to quote the most up-to-date policies, I am able to show my clients the most competitive products on the market today. Including proprietary products not sold by other brokers.”

“My job is to save my clients time. From requesting a quote, to evaluating options, to completing an application – I’m there every step. I make it easy.

“I met Nick through mutual friends in the Bay Area. He helped us identify low-cost health insurance options that also had low deductibles and co-pays for our employees. He explained everything and facilitated our enrollment; now he helps us with ongoing, insurance related questions. He also refers our company, a new subscription service that allows DJs play an endless crate of music, with their favorite mixing app, online or offline, to potential clients in his network. I’ve since recommended him to other startups with great results and feedback.

– Joshua Goltz, COO, Pulselocker


“I spoke with a few different brokers when I first started looking for health insurance but none of them were even close to as knowledgeable as Nick was. From explaining my options to the applying and getting through underwriting, he really took care of us, and still does – Nick and I talk often talk about my family’s coverage and our options. He is always there when I need him.
