About Me

From Law Enforcement to Helping People Protect What Matters Most

Sometimes life forces you to stop and see things differently.

For me, that moment came after a car crash that changed everything.

I was in law enforcement — a job I loved, built around protecting others. But during my long recovery, I started to realize that the way I could help people was about to change.

While I was physically limited, I spent a lot of time thinking. And what became clear was this: people need protection not just in moments of crisis, but before those moments ever happen.

That’s where McMichael Benefits began.

My Mission Is Simple: Keep Families Protected Before Life Happens

After the crash, I made myself two promises:

1️⃣ Stay healthy for my family.
2️⃣ Help others do the same.

Selling insurance wasn’t part of the plan, it just made sense.

It gave me a way to ease the stress I’d seen so many people face when medical needs caught them off guard.

I’ve seen how fast life can change — unplanned pregnancies, addiction, heart disease, cancer, strokes, car crashes.

These moments are hard enough on their own, but without coverage, they can break families financially and emotionally.

That’s why I do what I do: to make sure no one I work with has to face those moments unprepared.

Today, I help individuals, families, and small businesses find coverage that makes sense — without confusion, without pressure, and without breaking their budget.

Every story I hear reminds me why this work matters.

I’d spent weeks trying to figure out the Marketplace alone. It was confusing and stressful, until Breck called. He stayed on the phone with me that same night until I had coverage and peace of mind. I finally feel protected.

Adding employee benefits felt complicated, but Breck made it simple. Now my team feels valued and secure, and I feel proud of the business we’re building. It’s made all the difference.
