About Eric Shaw

I got my life and health license in December 2022 after an injury forced me into a career change. Before entering the insurance industry, I spent about 15 years working in trucking.

My decision to become licensed was deeply personal. After my father-in-law passed away, I saw firsthand what happens when a family is not financially prepared for that kind of loss. My wife and her brothers were suddenly left trying to come up with the money the funeral home needed, right in the middle of their grief. It was overwhelming and painful.

That experience stayed with me. I decided then that I wanted to help other families avoid going through the same situation. Losing a loved one is already hard enough. Families should be left with space to grieve, not the added burden of urgent financial stress.

Today, my mission is to help people prepare ahead of time with final expense coverage and other protection options that bring peace of mind to the people they care about most.

My Mission

My mission is simple: to help families prepare before the unexpected happens, so they can focus on what matters most when difficult moments come.
