Kindred Brokerage Blog #1: Why I Got Into Insurance — And Why I’m Still Here
When I first got into the insurance business in 2012, I didn’t have a single client. I wasn’t born into it, I didn’t have connections — I just knew people needed help, and I was willing to show up and work for it.
So I hit the pavement.
Six days a week. Nine hours a day. Door to door.
That’s how I built Kindred Brokerage — not with slick ads or corporate leads, but by listening to people, one front porch at a time. I sat with families while they told me stories of loved ones lost too soon. I watched clients break down when they realized they couldn’t afford to get sick. I helped them find real coverage that would show up when life hit hardest.
Cancer Changed Everything for Me
My mom has battled cancer three times. My wife’s family has lost multiple people to it. And I’ve sat across from far too many clients who didn’t think they’d ever need help — until they did.
That’s why I started by specializing in cancer insurance — because I knew from personal experience what it meant to miss work, lose income, and still have to keep the lights on. The right policy can make the difference between a total financial collapse and a fighting chance.

🧠 Wellness Isn’t Just About Insurance
We’ve helped hundreds of families plan for the worst — but we also want to help them prevent what’s preventable.
That’s why I personally focus on staying ahead of illness with a simple daily wellness routine — and these are a few tools and supplements I recommend:
💊 Vitamin D3 5,000 IU – for immunity and energy
💊 Omega 3-6-9 – heart and brain support
💊 Magnesium Glycinate – for better sleep and lower blood pressure
💧 Brita Water Filter Pitcher – clean water you can actually trust
These are simple, affordable steps I take at home every day — and I encourage clients to consider their health long before they need to file a claim.
