INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

---

Braden MSI Insurance was established in 2015. 

and long-timeI was born at WPAFB in Dayton, Ohio, spent two years there and then 4 years in Fairbanks, Alaska before moving to Indianapolis where I grew up.  I am proud of my Midwestern roots and I am a firm believer that there is something different about those of us who possess a Midwestern work ethic. I moved to the Valley with my wife Tami in 1986.  After having a distinguished career in the Food and Beverage Industry I decided to make a career change, I was not sure exactly what direction I wanted to take, but I knew that I wanted to provide a service to others and I had to find something I was passionate about. 

I had a long time friend and mentor who has been in the Medicare Insurance Industry for nearly 30 years and he (Clay Perry) said to me  "This  business isn't easy and it is not for everyone but it is rewarding and you have the knowledge and personality to be successful, not only that I think you will genuinely enjoy the relationships you will make and you will be able to help and teach people  which I know is your passion" Clay's words resonated with me, that is how I am wired, I care about the relationships, I can't fake it, I have always been proud and honored to serve others. 

So, I began being a sponge and soaking up as much knowledge as I could about all aspects of Medicare, including Medicare Advantage Plans,  Medicare Supplements/Medi-Gap Insurance, Prescription Drug Plans, Retirement, Social Security and Long  Term Care.  Clay was a huge help and a great source of knowledge for me, I miss his wit, his knowledge and his friendship. Unfortunately Clay  had some serious Health Issues in 2018 and he passed away unexpectedly on  January 6th of 2019.  Per his wishes, I took over his business with a promise to look after his clients and his business. 

Today I am a certified Medicare Specialist and I have been designated  and recognized as being a Certified Medicare Specialist. Life is beautiful, every day is a gift and I absolutely love what I do.  You will find that genuinely enjoy helping people and educating them on the topic of Medicare and do my best to advise them and guide them so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and their family moving forward. I am available any time of the day you need me, but fair warning, I answer my phone and emails every day that ends in "Y", so please, please never feel bad about calling, texting or emailing me anytime.  That is all part of my commitment to you and to my business.
