Don and his wife, Alyssa, were both born and raised in Wooster and knew this is where they wanted to raise their family. His entire life, Don admired local businessmen. He noticed their investment in the community, sponsoring events and local sports teams. It was Don’s home and auto insurance agent that encouraged him to get his degree in risk management. It wasn’t until Don was researching health insurance for his own family that his eyes were opened to the lack of local representatives in the industry. He remembers his experience, “I was unsure who to trust. There were so many websites selling different plans. I was overwhelmed and was getting bombarded with calls all hours of the day from all over the globe.

I didn’t know if people were trying to sell me coverage based on what’s best for my family or what is best for a their company.” Don knew he couldn’t be alone in his frustration. He obtained his license, gaining a full understanding of the industry. His next step was finding the right company to partner with. His search led him to HealthMarkets Insurance Agency. It was the best fit for Don, his family, and his clients as it granted him access to plans from nationally recognized carriers.
