Every Company is Facing Health Insurance Challenges

COST

SYSTEM

Our Healthcare System is Broken

Most employees do not have enough savings to cover their deductible if costs continue to rise at the current unfeasible rate. Plus, inflation is now a growing factor.

Health Care Industry is Inefficient

Employees often choose expensive health insurance plans without understanding their options, which leads to large medical bills that they can't afford.

COUNSEL

Traditional Broker Model is Antiquated

People are increasingly looking for trusted advisors to help them navigate through complex decisions, but the health insurance industry is slow to adapt.

RATES

TENURE

You're Conditioned to Pay More

Annual cost increases are inevitable, but there IS a way to take control of your premium increases.

Employees Don't Understand Benefits

If your team doesn't know how to use the insurance policy you gave them, then it's not really helping reduce turnover.

TECHNOLOGY

Forget Paper, Tech Wins EVERY Time

If a company only offers paper health insurance onboarding, it will be a huge disadvantage when you're compared to other employers.

Who I am

I am a Christ follower, husband, and dad who is a passionate advocate against sex trafficking. With over 15 years in the benefits, technology, and human resources industry.

 

I get excited about helping leaders build high-growth companies by guiding them to proactively innovate their workforce strategies so they can hire talent, scale their firms, secure funding, and someday sell to the highest bidder. 

This is why I've chosen to work with Hylant, as it gives me the greatest opportunity to serve my clients with the most comprehensive underwriting and consulting services in the marketplace.

Innovative Benefits Strategies

One of the most important aspects of any business is its people. And yet, so many companies don't invest nearly enough time or resources into their benefits and people operations.

  • Skyrocketing Benefits Costs Are Bleeding Your Budget Dry
    Why This Should Be a Priority: Every dollar wasted on rising healthcare costs is a dollar stolen from growth, innovation, and your employees’ future. Don’t let your benefits program drain your business dry. How I Approach Things Differently: I cut through the chaos of skyrocketing costs with alternative funding strategies and data-driven insights that put control back in your hands. Say goodbye to wasted dollars and hello to smarter spending.
  • One Mistake Could Cost You Everything
    Why This Should Be a Priority: Regulatory slip-ups can lead to crushing fines, lawsuits, and shattered reputations. Ignoring compliance isn’t just risky—it’s a business killer. How I Approach Things Differently: I’m your compliance bodyguard, keeping you ahead of the game with proactive monitoring and step-by-step guidance. You focus on growth; I’ll handle the red tape.
  • Your Benefits Package Is Costing You Top Talent
    Why This Should Be a Priority: If your benefits don’t wow candidates, your competition will swoop in and snatch them up. Don’t let outdated benefits packages hold you back from landing your dream hires. How I Approach Things Differently: I design benefits that not only attract top talent but keep them happy. From telemedicine to wellness programs, I make sure your benefits stand out and keep employees loyal.
  • Employees Don’t Care About Benefits They Don’t Understand
    Why This Should Be a Priority: Confusion about benefits isn’t just frustrating—it’s a morale killer. If employees don’t understand their benefits, you’re burning money on programs they’ll never use. How I Approach Things Differently: I make benefits simple and engaging, turning confusion into confidence with clear communication, ongoing support, and tools that employees actually love.
  • Your HR Team Is Drowning, and Employees Are Fed Up
    Why This Should Be a Priority: When benefits problems pile up, HR is overwhelmed, employees lose trust, and your company’s culture takes a hit. How I Approach Things Differently: I bring fast, reliable support that solves issues before they snowball. I free up your HR team and keep employees happy—so you can focus on what really matters.
  • You’re Flying Blind Without Data
    Why This Should Be a Priority: Guessing about benefits costs and usage is like throwing darts blindfolded—you’re wasting time, money, and opportunities. How I Approach Things Differently: I turn data into your secret weapon, uncovering hidden cost drivers and pinpointing opportunities to improve efficiency and satisfaction.
  • Outdated Tech Is Making You Look Bad
    Why This Should Be a Priority: Clunky systems don’t just slow you down—they frustrate employees and make your company look behind the times. How I Approach Things Differently: I bring in cutting-edge tech that makes benefits seamless, efficient, and a joy to use—for both HR and employees. No more tech headaches, just results.
