Founder bio
Ryan Michalek is the founder of Michalek Health Solutions, an independent health and life insurance brokerage in Tampa, Florida. A Chicago native, he grew up around union tradespeople and working families — his father was a lineman for more than thirty years — and he came up working jobs that never included a benefits packet. That background shapes how he runs the practice: listen first, explain things in plain English, and give people the honest answer even when it doesn't earn a dime.
Starting with a license, a phone, and no inherited book of business, Ryan built the agency one conversation at a time, growing mostly by word of mouth as clients sent along their friends and family. Today he serves clients across 31 states, and he still picks up the phone long after enrollment — year-round — when questions come up. Through Michalek Health Solutions, he supports the Children's Cancer Center in Tampa, and he runs the practice by a simple rule: take care of people, tell the truth, and the career takes care of itself.
