Our Team

I earned my health insurance license in 2008, and graduated from the University of Nevada with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management in 2009.

I’ve been heavily involved in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) since before it was passed into law in 2010. As a 3rd generation Nevadan, I understand the value of standing behind the promises I make to clients. Health insurance is designed to not only protect your health, but also your financial well being. Working with a no-cost broker like me can help make sure you’re taken care of, both physically and financially, when you need it the most.

I am originally from California but moved to Reno to attend the University of Nevada in 2008. After four years of studies, I graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Speech Communications and in Criminal Justice and a Minor in Psychology.

Currently, I hold four insurance licenses to help Nevadans and Californians with medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. I have been licensed in Nevada since 2013 and licensed in California since 2014. With clients in both Nevada and California I have a unique perspective of how the insurance market works in different geographical areas. As an insured member myself, I understand the value of protecting the financial livelihood of you and your family. I work with every major health insurance company in both Nevada and California so I can assess the entire market and recommend policies for your specific needs. My services and professional assistance are free of charge, as I am your member advocate. If you do not have a broker or would like to have me as your personal adviser, free of charge, please give me a call today! I look forward to working with you!

JT was born and raised in Reno NV. He began his career in health insurance in 2008, and has become a dedicated resource for individuals, and businesses who want to simplify the headache of health insurance. JT knows how to communicate with the health insurance companies in order to receive the best service for his clients. He has the expertise to recognize upcoming changes in the health insurance market and to confidently make the appropriate recommendations at each and every renewal. He is the father of two wonderful children, and enjoys spending as much time out in the Sierras as possible.

I earned my bachelor's degree with a dual major in Accounting and Information Systems at the University of Nevada after moving to Reno in 2015.

I have an extreme amount of appreciation for my clients and aim to find solutions for their exact needs while providing excellent service. After taking the time to learn from professionals around me, I have become an expert in various lines of insurance with the goal of having a long-lasting relationship between you and this office. Not only do I help my clients obtain insurance but expect myself to be a constant resource of information and problem solving all year long.

I was born and raised here in Reno. However, after living in the Bay Area for almost a decade I moved back to Reno about a year ago to be closer to my family and all the outdoor activities the Sierra has to offer.

While in the Bay, I received a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley. I chose that as my focus of study because I am interested in how we, as human beings, ended up where we are today, and where we may be going in the future. This knowledge helps me relate to my clients with a unique perspective and I look forward to helping you with all your health insurance needs.

I was born and raised here in Reno, Nevada. I graduated from the University of Nevada with my bachelor’s degree in 2012 and majored in Community Health Science. After living in Las Vegas for four years, I returned here to Northern Nevada in 2016.

I started my career in insurance in 2016 when I obtained my Health, Life, Property, and Casualty licenses. My goal is to listen to your needs and help you figure out the best option to protect you and your family. I am also able to help you with all your Medicare needs and make your transition into Medicare as seamless as possible. I work with all major health companies in Nevada so I can shop all plans to make sure you, your family, or your business is getting the best possible option. My professional opinion and services are free of charge so you can come to me throughout the year with any questions or concerns with your insurance. I am looking forward to talking with you.

I have been helping Northern Nevada Employers with their group health insurance needs since 1987. In 1998, I formed Health Benefits Associates, a health insurance brokerage focused specifically on health insurance benefits for individuals, groups, and Medicare beneficiaries.

Over these last 25+ years, we have dealt with virtually every health insurance company that has done business in Nevada, and our brokerage continues to offer products from the highest rated insurers combined with the most competitive premiums possible. We have always represented our client’s needs first, and we would like to help you today.
