A family agency in Northampton

He left Highmark to open an independent agency with his son, and continues serving his established Medicare clientele while expanding into individual plans through Pennie, Pennsylvania’s official health insurance marketplace.

The second generation of the agency. Cooper studies International Relations with a Spanish minor at Seton Hall University, with three semesters of operations experience interning at NJ Transit — bringing energy and a global mindset to the family business.
Client words
What clients say
Medicare felt completely overwhelming until I sat down with Eric. He explained every option clearly and patiently and helped me pick the right plan. I recommend him to everyone.
I was confused by all the ACA options. He explained the plans, checked my subsidy eligibility, and walked me through enrollment step by step — I ended up with a plan that fits my budget and my needs.
