Nicole has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, with majors in Accounting and Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance.  She worked as a regional Business Development Manager for UnitedHealthcare for more than six years, and is Health Insurance licensed in all 50 states.  She has become known amongst her colleagues as the expert on Medicare for veterans.  She also specializes in helping those who are in the process of retiring even if they are not quite of Medicare age yet.

While United Healthcare provided her a great opportunity with great training and experiences, it didn’t sit right with her to present products from only one company.  She spent a lot of time praying and reflecting and felt she was being called to become an independent broker so she could use her talent of understanding Medicare to help people choose the right plan for them, regardless of who the insurance company is.  Nicole felt like Bridlewood was a natural fit for her, with their emphasis on always putting the clients needs first. Her favorite part of what she does happens when she comes into contact with someone who is obviously overwhelmed by their Medicare options.  She loves being able to explain Medicare, ask questions, and then lay out their options in a way that makes it easy to understand and takes the burden off their shoulders. You can tell they feel so relieved after they have talked, and it’s great to know she can do that for people.

She grew up in Casco, Wisconsin and resides now in Green Bay, WI.  Nicole and her husband, Chad, have been together for 6 years and have 3 energetic boys and 2 dogs, so they are certainly never bored.  When it’s nice outside she enjoys walking through the woods with her boys and they love to spend time at the family cabin in upper Michigan. As the kids get older, more and more time is spent at flag football, soccer, t-ball, etc.

Through a series of questions: Through a series of questions….
1. Asses the current health and financial condition 2. Discuss and educate the clients on the options that are available to them with the pro’s and con’s of both 3. Allow the client to make the decision that is best tailored to them.

Bridlewood has an excellent reputation in the industry, I made the switch to them about 5 months ago and I haven’t looked back!

I love when I talk with my clients and I put their mind at ease! Medicare planning is stressful along with other life changing events, I do everything I can for my clients to say “Mike has it covered, one less worry.”

I’m from New Jersey and currently reside here, although, I lived between NYC and Tampa, FL for the past 15 years.

My beautiful wife of 13 years, Sherri has blessed me with three angels! My oldest is Gia(10 years old), Adriana (8), and Michael(6). They do keep me on my toes and my house is a nut house, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

With three active kids, I’m either an assistant coach or head coach for soccer, baseball, basketball and now hockey! lol. I’m a member of Tavistock Country Club and I hope one day to find the time to improve my golf game. My wife and I love to travel and have some great trips planned, but family time is sacred to us.

Kori started the Physical Therapy Assisting Program at Tri-C but due to Covid the program was at a standstill, which is when I found my insurance career.  In 2020 she started working at State Farm selling P&C and Life Insurance.  She really enjoyed it, but was looking for something a little more challenging and rewarding, and decided Medicare was her new passion.  She thoroughly enjoys helping people, especially seniors who are dealing with the daunting task of trying to select the right Medicare plan.  Kori believes insurance is there for the times when the unexpected occurs, and feels it is far better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

Originally from Chesapeake, VA, Kori just moved back there after living briefly in northeast Ohio.  She and her husband, Eric, have been together since 2013.  They have a son, Caden, who is 6 years old on the Autism spectrum, who is the light of their lives and the smartest kid she knows.  Kori enjoys going to the beach, being outdoors and just having new experiences while spending time with friends and family.

Travis has an Associate Degree in Law Enforcement from Mid-State Technical College. After being an internal Medicare tele sales Agent for 3 years at UnitedHealthcare, he decided to stop being a captive agent with one company, and become his own boss.  He joined Bridlewood so that he could offer a wide variety of Medicare products and plans, not just plans from one company.  Travis believes that Medicare is not a “one-size fits all” product, and wanted the opportunity to be able to help seniors select the most appropriate plan to meet their needs.  He specializes in Medicare Advantage and Special Needs plans.

Travis’s favorite part of working with Medicare beneficiaries, is helping people understand something that they may have struggled understanding previously. Finding new ways to explain a benefit or detail, he really enjoys watching as his clients finally “get it” and understand something that seemed so foreign and difficult before.  His philosophy is to always treat his clients like he would treat his family.

Originally from Wisconsin Rapids, Travis moved to Green Bay in 2015 before finally settling down in Clintonville, WI in 2021.  He met his wife, Hannah, in 2015 and they were married in 2018.  They have two beautiful children, Leonardo (2 years old) and Lorelai (1 year old).  They enjoy being outside with their family, going on hikes and working in their garden.  He is a diehard New York Giants fan, and when time allows, enjoys playing pickup basketball.

He is contracted with all the major carriers in the area and offers a full range of products and services to his clients, including Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplements, Special Needs Plans, Medicare/Medicaid plans, Low Income Subsidy, and Veterans Plans.

Jay decided to focus solely on Medicare because he realized how big of a demand there was for someone who can simplify the process, as well as educate and help seniors with their Medicare planning.  Jay was eager to join Bridlewood’s team of agents, due to their vision, leadership and support.  They operate with great integrity, and always keep the client’s needs as their top priority.  His favorite part of his job is sitting at a client’s kitchen table, getting to know more about them and their family, and helping them take the guesswork out of the entire process so they do not feel confused or overwhelmed. He loves helping them find the right plan that suits their needs, as well as their budget.

Jay has lived in Eastern Iowa all his life.  He was born in Iowa City, and raised in a small town called What Cheer.  He now lives in Marengo with his wife Nikki, and 3 sons – Ayson, Jaxen and Declan.  In his free time he loves spending time with his family and friends.  Their family can almost always be found outdoors, whether it’s camping, kayaking, hiking or fishing.  He also loves watching sports, and is a lifelong Hawkeye fan.
