What We Help With

We are an independent agency, so we compare options across carriers rather than selling one company’s plans.

How It Works

  1. Tell us what you need

    A short conversation about your situation, your budget and how you actually use healthcare.

  2. Compare your options

    We pull the plans available to you across multiple carriers and put them side by side.

  3. Understand the differences

    Networks, deductibles, drug coverage and the trade-offs, explained in plain terms.

  4. Enroll with confidence

    We handle the paperwork, and we stay available afterwards for claims, changes and renewals.

There is no cost to work with us as your broker.

Why Mission Essential Insurance

  • Veteran-Owned

    Founded and run by a veteran. The standards of service and follow-through that come with military experience are what we bring to every client.

  • Independent, Not Captive

    We are not tied to a single carrier, so we can compare plans across companies and recommend the one that actually fits.

  • Licensed in 30+ States

    We can help whether you are in Tampa Bay, elsewhere in Florida, or in one of the other states Eric is licensed in.

  • Support After You Enroll

    Our work does not end at enrollment. We stay available for claims questions, plan changes and annual renewal reviews.

Life Insurance

Most people either have no life insurance at all, or have a policy through work that ends the day the job does. Either way, your family would find out the hard way. It takes one short conversation to know where you stand, and it costs you nothing.

  • Term Life

    Covers a set number of years for a set amount. It is the straightforward option when what you are protecting has an end date, like the years until a mortgage is paid or children are independent. It builds no cash value, and it ends when the term does.

  • Whole Life

    Permanent coverage that also builds cash value over time. The cash value grows slowly, especially early on, and anyone presenting it primarily as an investment is describing it inaccurately. It suits people who want coverage that does not expire.

  • Coverage Through Work

    Employer life insurance is usually a modest multiple of salary, and it generally ends when the job does. It is worth knowing what yours actually covers before assuming it is enough, and whether it follows you if you leave.
