Bailey is a firm believer in being a team player. This most likely stems from her experience competing in collegiate golf at St. Cloud State University, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Marketing. She learned very quickly that individually you can do well, but working together, you can achieve so much more.

Today, Bailey is still a team player at Bridlewood Insurance. With her passion for people, processes and insurance, she takes pride in working with her clients, walking them step by step through the Medicare process to ensure that their unique insurance needs are met.

Outside of work you can find Bailey on the golf course with her husband Dan and two daughters, or at their cabin in northern Minnesota, enjoying the great outdoors.

My name is Tim – My Mission: Evaluate and understand your unique Medicare and insurance needs. Find a plan that meets your budget and health requirements. After having a Medicare consultation, my clients will have confidence in their Medicare decisions finding the best path to follow.

Born in Cedar Rapids, IA, the second-largest city in Iowa, I moved to Omaha when I was six. I grew up in a fairly large family of four boys and two sisters. Educated in Catholic schools: St. Pius Elementary and Roncalli High school. After high school, I attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha, earning a Bachelor’s degree in science.

While studying for my bachelor’s degree at UNO, I worked for a credit card processing company by the name of First Data Resources for twenty years. I learned how to budget my time wisely in regard to pursuing my degree and paying for my education. After earning my bachelor’s degree, I was promoted at First Data to a programmer and finally earned the position of Application Architect. After leaving First Data, I worked as a stockbroker for TD Ameritrade for eleven years. I really enjoyed the customer contact and solving client problems, and educating my clients on the world of researching and trading stocks. After years of working as a stockbroker, I wanted to help people and own my own business. As a result, I ended up here at Bridlewood.

In preparation for having my own agency, I worked for a small company, Senior Market Sales. I helped people who were turning 65 determine if it made economic sense for them to stay on their current companies’ current group health insurance or move over entirely to Medicare. Further, helping my clients determine if it made sense for them to add additional supplemental insurance or move over to the Medicare Advantage plan.
Recently my father passed away, and as a result, I now enjoy taking care of my mother, who is 82 years old, and her two dogs, George and Gisele, both Schnauzer and Poodle mix. I have over twelve nieces and nephews and have now started attending their children’s weddings.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time listening to audiobooks, hiking, fishing, movies, dining out, and watching the Husker football games.

Thanks for reading my biography, and I will leave you with one of my favorite Authors Quotes: “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”  – Mark Twain.

Kim absolutely loves her Medicare clients and considers them friends. She is one of the top UHC and Humana Medicare Agents in South Dakota and makes Medicare easy to understand for her members.  Kim has her Paralegal Associates Degree. She has also owned her own insurance agency, American Family Ins Agency, and has been a licensed insurance agent for over 20 years. Prior to insurance, she was a Mortgage Loan Officer and a Title Insurance Agent.

Kim and her husband, Roger, started with Bridlewood Insurance in 2019. They chose to work with Bridlewood based on the way that the owners, Jeff and Kim Wetzel, aligned with their goals, both personally and professionally. They were very impressed with Bridlewood’s support and their progressive training, advertising, and marketing ideas.  Kim says she loves educating the Senior population and truly helping them navigate the very complicated Medicare and Medicare Supplement process. She likes being the person they know they can call, get a return phone call, and have their questions answered. Knowing that most Seniors
live on a fixed budget, she enjoys being able to offerproducts that can save them money, provide additional areas of coverage, and allow for more disposable income on a monthly basis.

Kim was born and raised in Southeast Nebraska in a town of 79 people. Her entire family still lives there, while she lives in Madison, South Dakota (just north of Sioux Falls approximately 45 miles) on Lake Madison. Kim has lived in South Dakota for over 25 years, with her husband Roger, who is also a Medicare Agent. Yes, they do work together and spend 24/7 with each other. Believe it or not they have worked together since 2010, and were married 2 years later. Kim has 1 son, Dylan, who lives in Chandler, Arizona with his wife, Brooklynn. Kim enjoys scrapbooking, gardening, yoga, zumba, her “Active & Ageless” exercise classes, walking, boating, jet skiing, entertaining friends & family at the lake, 4-wheeler riding in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and also riding bikes on the trails in South Dakota.

Roger has a way of explaining the Medicare process making it easy to understand. Roger and his wife Kim, who is also an agent, have an insurance agency in Madison, South Dakota and are licensed to offer Medicare related products in 26 states. Roger has several degrees, including an Associate’s degree in Agriculture from Mankato Vo-Tech, a Bachelor’s degree in
Finance, and a Bachelor’s degree in Insurance and Real Estate from Minnesota State University. Roger & Kim have owned Amerigroup Financial, LLC, which is an independent insurance marketing company contracted to sell a wide variety of insurance products, for well over a decade, but specialize in products for Medicare Beneficiaries, including Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Supplement plans. Roger came to work at Bridlewood Insurance through a rather unusual way. He grew up in the same small town in Minnesota, as Bridlewood’s President and CEO, Jeffry Wetzel.  Jeff shared with him how the Medicare business works and how it has treated him well, and Roger decided to add those Medicare products to the portfolio of offerings for his clients. He really loves potentially saving hundreds of dollars a month for people that are on a very low, fixed income, and really need
his help.

Born and raised on a farm in Waterville, Minnesota, Roger moved to Phoenix, AZ after college, owned a mortgage company and a real estate agency and then moved to Madison, South Dakota in 2012. Kim and Roger were married in 2012, and Kim’s son Dylan, lives in Chandler, Arizona with his wife Brooklynn. The only professional sports Roger enjoys watching are UFC and Nascar. His favorite hobbies are traveling to Mexico, flying, trail riding with their UTV, entertaining friends at their lake home, boating, riding jet skis and anything to do with cars. He loves speed!!

My roots are strong and deeply planted on the open plains of North Dakota. I grew up in a small rural community on a multigenerational farm, where we raised various crops, beef cattle and horses. The farm taught me the value of hard work, integrity and working together. At age 16, I began my mission to serve people, in the local café as a cook. I loved seeing the locals and meeting new visitors as they traveled through the area.

My first career was Cosmetology, before jumping with both feet into health care. Completing 144 credits in two years I earned my Respiratory Care Practitioner degree, specializing in critical care, taking care of the COPD patients and all patients from 24-week gestation preemie to the special geriatric people that frequented our hospital, and became friends of mine.

I am proud to say I have over 30 years of experience in health care. I am board certified in Sleep Medicine, and LOVE providing care. I understand the importance of health care and being insured with appropriate medical coverage, consistent with your needs. Medicare does NOT need to be complicated…Let me “COACH” you.

During all my studies, I still had time to meet the man of my dreams, we have surpassed our 35-year anniversary and have grown a family of two lovely boys, who are now stepping up to the family plate, along with their beautiful wives and have given me the best title of all, “Gigi”.
I love to travel, especially to warm places, with North Dakota roots, my tree seems to be a palm tree.

Spending time with family and friends, and meeting new people are always on my calendar. Let’s get connected, I want to learn about you and your roots, what gets you up in the morning. Coaching you to find your best fit in your Medicare choices, for your “Golden Years”.
