“After my playing career, I started and ran a few different companies. As those companies grew and we started hiring more people, I wanted to provide my employees with health insurance. I was presented with either outrageously expensive plans or plans that didn’t provide the coverage my employees needed.

I experienced first-hand what it felt like to look at a health insurance quote for my business. It sucked the life out of me because I couldn’t afford it, and I didn’t know how my employees would afford it either.

I was frustrated with the skyrocketing costs of modern healthcare—I’d had enough. I learned there was a better way, and I knew I wasn’t alone. That’s why I created Elevate—I will be part of the team that fixes healthcare.”
