10 years in the health insurance industry. AHIP-certified for all things Medicare as well as a licensed broker with the Federally Facilitated Marketplace.

I was born and raised in Shelby Township, MI, in a family of eight. Growing up, I was always big into personal training and weight lifting, so I decided to focus my college studies on Physical Therapy. During Physical Therapy school, I managed a pizzeria and hated being stuck in a thousand-degree hot box day in and day out. One day I noticed a college friend had posted a position at his father's insurance agency. I contacted him, and he gave me an interview. Initially, it was just a "job." After all, I was in school for Physical Therapy and I had absolutely no knowledge of insurance, deductibles, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums, formularies, compliance, etc. Shortly after beginning an administrative position, I started fielding calls from customers asking about prescription drug coverage, rehab, subsidy eligibility, retirement planning, job loss, etc. I grew very interested in learning more about the health insurance and Medicare fields and their various synergies with what I was already studying in school. The Affordable Care Act went into effect on January 1, 2014, and I decided to get my state license.

That year was the craziest of my career. No one knew what was happening or where to go for health insurance because everything was new. "Obamacare" was new, and the Healthcare.gov website, or the Marketplace, people needed to go to for individual health insurance didn't even work until halfway through the calendar year. This confusion led to rapid growth for me as we figured out the Marketplace, subsidies, and how to navigate the new laws and offer the best products for our customers. 10 years later, I now own my own health insurance agency, Roncelli Insurance Group LLC. We have thousands of clients across the state of Michigan. I have licenses in Michigan, Florida, and Texas and assist consumers each and every day, whether it is with their employer-sponsored coverage, individual coverage, Medicare options, ancillary products such as dental, vision, hearing, critical illness, etc.
