About Mike - The Medicare Matchmaker

After a rewarding 40+ year career in pharmacy, I became a Licensed Healthcare Agent and Broker in 2024 with a clear mission: to help individuals and families navigate the often-confusing world of Medicare with confidence and peace of mind.

Throughout my pharmacy career, I witnessed firsthand the frustration many people experience when faced with complex insurance options, unfamiliar medical terminology, and the overwhelming number of Medicare choices available. When I turned 65, I personally went through the Medicare enrollment process myself and quickly realized just how time-consuming and confusing it can be.

As the father of a son with special needs, I also understand the importance of finding healthcare coverage that truly fits an individual’s unique circumstances. This personal experience has deepened my passion for helping parents, caregivers, and Medicare beneficiaries make informed decisions and receive the support they deserve.

My goal is simple: to provide personalized guidance, simplify the Medicare process, and help every client find the coverage that best matches their healthcare needs, lifestyle, and budget. I believe that Medicare doesn’t have to be overwhelming when you have a trusted advocate by your side.

I am committed to making Medicare easy to understand, empowering you to make confident decisions, and ensuring you receive the care and coverage you deserve.
