About Cornerstone Benefit Solutions

I'm the agent behind the agency

I built Cornerstone Benefit Solutions, LLC on a simple idea: insurance works best when it's explained honestly, by someone who takes the time to understand your actual situation.

A little about me

Licensed, local, and easy to reach

I'm a licensed insurance agent and independent insurance broker, and I founded Cornerstone Benefit Solutions, LLC to help individuals and families across Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Alabama find life insurance, supplemental health coverage, ACA Marketplace plans, and Medicare Advantage plans that fit their real lives — not a sales script.

When you work with me, you work with me from our first conversation through your annual plan review, so your questions get answered by the person who actually knows your coverage.

Here's why this work matters to me: I once sat down with a client in his 50s who didn't have life insurance and didn't think he needed it. He didn't have much family close by, and he and his kids weren't in contact, so his thinking was simple — "if I die, just cremate me, no big deal." What he hadn't thought through is that even a cremation has to be paid for by someone, and it doesn't just disappear because a relationship is strained. We talked it through, and I think it surprised him to realize his family might care more than he assumed, and that leaving that decision — and that bill — for someone else to sort out wasn't really the "no big deal" he thought it was. That conversation is why I do this work. Coverage isn't just about the people who love you today; it's about not leaving a mess for whoever's left to handle, even when your situation isn't simple.

Agent & Broker

What I can do for you as a broker

I'm licensed as both an insurance agent and an independent insurance broker — a distinction that matters more than most people realize once it's time to actually compare coverage.

  • I can access multiple carriers for you — rather than offering plans from a single insurance company, I shop your options across several carriers to find the combination of price and coverage that fits.
  • My advice isn't tied to one product line — because I'm not limited to one company's offerings, I base my recommendations on what fits your situation, not on what one insurer is promoting.
  • It costs you nothing extra — my compensation comes from the insurance carrier, the same way it would with a captive agent, so working with me doesn't mean paying more out of pocket.
  • I stay your advocate after you enroll — from questions about a claim to re-shopping your plan at renewal, I stay in your corner, not the carrier's.
