J.Berg & Associates, Est. 1952, Senior Citizens Advisory Insurance Agency

Trained Specialists Who Stay Informed

Our team works tirelessly to stay up to date with the rapid changes in senior health care insurance. We research hundreds of plans from the industry’s leading companies so we can offer the policies that best suit your needs. Plus, our agents are specially certified in the types of insurance they offer, regularly attend trainings and carefully study the latest product literature to stay on top of what’s new.

Heart in hand

Independence Brings You Choice

Because we’re an independent (rather than “captive”) agency, we’re not restricted to one insurance carrier. Instead, we work with a wide range of quality companies to offer a variety of policies. This allows our agents to analyze and recommend plans that fit your personal needs instead of offering a one-size-fits-all plan to everyone.

I have been with J. Berg & Associates since 2007 and have recently become the Vice President of Operations. I handle all day to day business, from administrative to the agents. I love the business relationships I have built over the years with not only clients, but company representatives. I have learned so much about the Senior business and continue to grow every day. I grew up in Jackson, Missouri and love the small town feel.

In my free time, I love hanging out with my husband Zack and our two cats, Gary and Sam. I enjoy going to antique shops on the weekends, trying local restaurants, going to concerts, (I’ve seen my favorite band over 100 times!), and traveling as much as possible. I love anything Disney and spending time with my family as much as possible.

I have been in the Senior Market since I first went into the insurance business in May of 1985, and I am proud to say that I have been affiliated with J. Berg & Associates, a Integrity Company, since that time. I have seen Medicare evolve into what it is today and fully understand the current market. Not all plans are the same and I understand everyone’s needs are different. Working with J. Berg & Associates, I can offer top rated companies with excellent benefits for Seniors at affordable prices.

I have been married to my wife for 40 wonderful years. We have 4 great children ranging 36 to 22. We are blessed to have 2 Grandchildren, a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I have been involved coaching youth sports since before my kids were old enough to play. I have coached hockey for Chesterfield Hockey Association, soccer for Ascension Church, baseball for Chesterfield, softball and volleyball for the YMCA and football for the Lafayette Junior Lancers. My family is deeply involved with Pedal the Cause bike race. PTC raises money for cancer research where 100% of all funds raised say locally in St. Louis. The money raised helps find cures for this terrible disease, so we can someday imagine “A World Without Cancer”.

I have been with J. Berg & Associates since April 2011, and in the industry since July 2010. I have won several awards with a few of the carriers we place with, and has earned multiple incentive trips as a result of providing excellent and consistent service to my clients.

Outside of the office, I enjoy attending sporting events, especially the Blues and Cardinals, and the occasional Colts game thrown in. I also attends concerts as much as possible, sometimes traveling to see my favorite bands. But my favorite thing to do is travel the world, having been to more than 20 countries, and stepping foot on 5 continents (so far). Life is an adventure, and I am taking advantage of every opportunity to experience it!
