Carlea Wallace

Founder

After four years in the supplemental insurance industry, Carlea discovered a passion for protecting people and being there for clients when they need it most. Along the way, she also recognized a significant gap in the industry: too many people lack the education, clarity, and confidence needed to make informed decisions about their health insurance and overall protection.

Carlea believes insurance should be more than a policy—it should be a relationship built on education, trust, and long-term partnership. Her goal is to make a complicated process easier to understand while providing clients with thoughtful guidance, personalized solutions, and a true white-glove experience from start to finish.

Through a commission-blind approach, Carlea is able to keep the focus where she believes it belongs: on the client and what is genuinely in their best interest. No pressure. No one-size-fits-all solutions. Just honest guidance and a commitment to going the extra mile.

Because when you take care of people, people take care of your business.

Kurt Nelson

Agent

With over 30 years of experience owning and operating a contracting business, Kurt understands firsthand what it means to build a business, support a family, and protect the income that makes it all possible.

Throughout his career, Kurt often found himself searching for quality insurance solutions for business owners—coverage that provided meaningful protection without putting an unnecessary strain on the budget. He knows that when you’re self-employed, an unexpected illness or injury can impact far more than just your ability to work. It can affect your business, your medical expenses, your family, and all of the everyday obligations that never seem important until life happens.

That personal experience is what led Kurt to help other business owners navigate their insurance options. His goal is simple: to help people find practical, affordable protection that gives them confidence in the future and helps safeguard what they’ve worked so hard to build.
