What a great experience working with Karl. I've managed my Advantage Plans over the year and never certain I was making the best choices, after talking to Karl I feel very confident. He is very gracious, personable, knowledgeable and has a great wit as well. My wife and I are so glad we found him.

Am extremely happy with everything. Service went well above and beyond. Made every effort to ensure that I was informed about the different options and customized what was recommended to my needs. Spent hours and hours making sure I knew everything I needed to know. I would not have been able to make an informed decision about options without Karl's guidance. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of these services and would have no hesitation reaching out to him again for other services.

If you want personalized, friendly navigation of a complicated system, a breadth of knowledge and experience, humor, and a commitment to your wellbeing, then make your appointment with Karl and The Big 65. Karl just guided me through all the applications and signed me up for the Medicare plans that will work best for me. I'm smiling.

Karl was on-time and provided great guidance on narrowing down the options to just a couple that were most relevant to my current situation. When follow-up meetings were needed it was easy to schedule a time.

Karl was a joy to work with. He was knowledgeable, engaged, thorough, and personable throughout the experience. I recommend him highly, to make the process transparent and easy, as you sort through the Medicare options.

Karl has helped us for several years now and some of our friends too. All of us found his knowledge and integrity to be tops. And on top of getting our various coverages well placed he keeps us informed and a bit entertained with his newsletter. Beekeeping? Hmm. Not for me but I’m excited about sharing this with a friend who is a home bound full time caregiver for his spouse. Something to keep his mind engaged and and a respite from daily stresses. I can’t wait to share this story.

Karl is great at what he does and frankly I don't know how he keeps up with all of the changes & annual certifications - it sounds so exhausting! Karl happens to be my cousin and I turned to him when I retired a few years ago. He listened to my situation carefully and proposed an excellent provider and plan that has not needed any changes since! I so enjoy his regular newsletter updates with his thoughtful insights, advice, and heads up commentaries ;~) He's always been a joy!
