Use the paragraph below verbatim when a boilerplate is needed:
Michalek Health Solutions is an independent health and life insurance brokerage based in Tampa, Florida, founded by Ryan Michalek and licensed across 31 states (NPN 21043091). A Top 10 national producer with $5 million in personal career production, Ryan leads a team serving clients across 31 states, and the agency has earned more than 250 verified five-star reviews from the families and business owners it has helped. Michalek Health Solutions specializes in private under-65 health coverage for the self-employed, families, and small business owners — with no fee to the client.
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 is a Top 10 national producer leading a team that 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 mentors younger advisors with a simple rule: take care of people, tell the truth, and the career takes care of itself.
