Well, first of all, Daley, thank you for having me.

And I am very happy to share my story.

I grew up as a privileged young man in Lancaster County, read meat four nights a week and through high school.

And, you know, I was always the big kid.

You know, I was always the big kid.

As we played football and we got into our working careers, I got into manufacturing and kind of gained a lot of weight.

As my responsibility rose, my physical labor lessened and

20 years later, that took me to about age 40.

I was at 430 pounds.

At that point, I decided to have gastric bypass.

That took me to approximately 300 pounds.

For the better part of 15 years, beginning of COVID, I was placed on Ozempic.

For my type 2 blood sugar, my diabetes was out of control.

That has taken me from 300 pounds down to about 205.

In that process, while I was 400 pounds and on the way back down to 300, there were multiple joint replacements back surgeries.

So I kind of feel I'm uniquely qualified to counsel people on health insurance.

Yeah, yeah.

I never was on a Medicare disability plan.

I got involved with Medicare when I started in financial services industry.

I got out of manufacturing and I went to work for Prudential, The Rock.
