An Insurance Blog, really??

Yeah, really. Not the most exciting thing world, that's for sure. But, you did find it, so that means you're here for a reason. Hopefully I can help. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mike, and I'm here to help. Currently, I have a property and casualty license in 35+ states. I've been a licensed insurance agent since 2003. Prior to that, I earned a bachelor degree in business administration from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. You know it by its other name, the happiest place on earth.

As a kid, growing up in northern Ohio, people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I never answered them "insurance agent!" What I love about being an insurance agent is the "eureka moment"; when I'm explaining what insurance does for somebody and they get it for the first time. Helping people make smart, informed decisions is my passion. I'm glad I found a medium that I can be so impactful on peoples' lives.

If you're like most consumers, I'm sure a few choice words come to mind when you think of insurance. We'll save those for another blog. The one I want to FOCUS on here is: complicated. Insurance is not complicated. Complicated is just a code word for inexperienced. The more time you spend on a topic the less complicated it becomes. Even though insurance, in one form or another, is something most of us are regular consumers of, many people don't understand it because they just don't spend a lot of time with it. I've spent a lot of time with it, about 12,000 hours, if my calculation is correct.

The number one thing, that I believe, that has kept me in this business this long is my ability to explain all things insurance in simple and easy terms and examples. I'm going to use this blog to talk about several things. Some days I will post stories/examples of some of the frequently asked questions that I've fielded throughout my years. Some days I will share some of my customers' stories; remember, those that don't study history are destined to repeat it. If you send me a question, or post one in a comment, I'll answer you here.

Thanks for reading. If your interested in a quote, give me call 636-449-2613.
