Our Associates
For twenty seven years I owned and operated a successful business that employed over fifty people. In 1999 I sold my business, moved back down to Florida from Michigan, and entrusted my financial future to other "experts". In 2002 after suffering a great loss I began to realize they were more interested in making money themselves rather than looking after my assets and helping me achieve my goals. As I began to take charge of my own accounts with some success, I thought I could do this for others.
My first step into the financial world was in the insurance field. In 2004 I was promoted to the position of Regional Manager for a Health and Life Insurance Company, and my area of oversight was the entire State of Florida.
My goal is and always has been to treat all of my clients as family. I'm proud to admit because of my commitment to service and personal interest, my family has grown!
My wife and two adult children live here in Florida and we love this area, the state and certainly the weather!
In 2010 my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Like everyone, we never thought anything like this would happen to us. This tragedy has reinforced my commitment to help everyone I speak with to plan for the future and prepare for the unexpected.
I'm happy to report that she is doing well and because of the personal planning we did she was able to get the best care possible without devastating us financially. My best wish for everyone is that you never have to experience anything like this, but if you do, hopefully you have a plan and are prepared.
Please let me look over your situation just to make sure!
I was born and raised in Redford, Michigan. In January 1985 I began working for Mike Kowalchuk. One year later, in February 1986, we were married, and we’ve continued to enjoy working together ever since. Many people wonder how that works for us – but we love working side-by-side and wouldn’t have it any other way! We lived in Canton Michigan until 2000 when we made the move down to Florida to escape the cold.
One of the things I like best about what we do is that we’re able to genuinely help people. That’s very fulfilling. I truly believe time with each client is the key to helping them find just the right fit for their health insurance needs. We really want to educate everyone on what their options are. That’s why we like to show someone all the plans that are available to them, rather than just what one company offers. Being a resident business at One Senior Place since 2007 has been the perfect place for us to help the community find the answers they need.
My favorite vacation destination is Hawaii – thus my love of palm trees, the ocean, and sunshine. When I’m not working, I enjoy Zumba, reading, and evening walks to enjoy the sunset.

I am originally from Missouri and spent most of my summers in Texas. I moved to Florida over 5 years ago to enjoy the beautiful warm weather, palm trees, and sandy beaches. With a varied background in Financials/Property Management/General Management/Hospitality, and Administration I truly have a passion for helping others. I am excited to utilize the skills I have acquired while venturing into a new opportunity in insurance services.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, watching and playing sports (Go Chiefs), and relaxing on the beach.
