I used to be a serious rock climber in my 20s.

As a college student studying recreation and leisure studies at California State University, Northridge, I discovered the joy of climbing at Stoney Point in the San Fernando Valley.

Whether it was daily trips to Stoney Point, “playing” with a challenging rock face traverse, or climbing in Joshua Tree National Park, I made sure I had my health insurance in place.

Even in my youth, I knew I had to be smart about pursuing what can be a dangerous hobby.

Confidence changes everything

There’s no bigger danger than a lack of confidence and a tendency to hesitate.

The less present you are, the more likely you are to injure yourself.

That’s true for many things in life—not just rock climbing.

Knowing I had a safety net (no pun intended), I was able to fully engage in my climbs without that nagging inner dialogue:

“well… what if you get hurt? are you really going to do that?”

On and on…the litany would never end.

A different way to think about insurance

I never got seriously hurt—either in rock climbing or glacier mountain climbing.

But that experience shaped how I think about this work.

In fact, I’m making a declaration:

I’m changing the word “insurance” to “support.”

What support actually looks like

Every day, I support people with this precarious business of living.

That support looks like:

• helping someone understand the health insurance landscape in 5 minutes or less
  (so they can make confident decisions)
• making sure they find the health plan that’s the best fit
  (whether that’s through me or another great agent)
• guiding them on how to actually use their plan
• answering any and all questions
  (there are no dumb questions around here)
• making sure they know how to access and navigate their benefits
• sharing insider tips and strategies to maximize the value of their health “support” plan

Moving through life with more confidence

When you have the right support in place, you move differently.

You make decisions with more clarity.
You take action with more confidence.
You’re more present in the moments that matter.

A simple ask

Help me support more people in moving through life with greater confidence.

I’ve got your back—and I’ll have theirs.

You’ll be a hero to the people you care about.

And they’ll thank you for helping them get the support they need.
