MEET RICK SHERLINE
Owner & Licensed Agent:
With a long career in the employee benefits insurance industry, I bring a depth of knowledge and perspective that only time and dedication can provide. As a licensed insurance agent, I have built my career on guiding businesses and individuals through the complexities of employee benefits and individual life and health insurance products with clarity, confidence, and care. My approach is rooted in earnestness, a solution-oriented mindset, and an unwavering commitment to ethical practices — values that shape every client interaction and every recommendation I make.
Throughout my career, I have remained focused on delivering thoughtful, strategic solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe that insurance products are more than policies and paperwork — they are promises of security, stability, and well-being for employees and their families. That responsibility is one I take seriously, and it drives me to provide guidance that is both practical and principled.
My academic foundation began at Wayne State University, where I earned both an undergraduate degree and my law degree. This educational background has equipped me with a strong analytical framework and legal insight that further enhances the strategic counsel I provide to my clients.
Outside of my professional life, I value time spent with family and friends. I enjoy traveling with my wife to visit loved ones, playing softball with friends, and committing to fitness training to stay in tip-top shape — both physically and mentally. Maintaining balance in life helps me bring energy, focus, and enthusiasm to the work I do every day.
I am proud of the relationships I have built over the years and remain dedicated to serving clients with integrity, diligence, and a forward-thinking approach. Whether you are navigating complex employee benefit issues or simply seeking a relationship with a seasoned employee benefits professional, I am here to provide trusted guidance every step of the way.
MEET BETH HANDY
Client Relations Manager & Licensed Agent:
I’ve been in the insurance industry for 15 years, providing guidance in employee group health benefits, individual coverage for those under 65, and Medicare solutions. My background includes experience in the medical field, working for an insurance carrier, and now serving clients directly on the agency side, giving me a well-rounded understanding of both the technical and real-life sides of healthcare coverage.
I operate with three core values at the center of my work: clarity, integrity, and advocacy. I believe my clients deserve straightforward communication, ethical guidance, and a professional who will confidently navigate complex benefit decisions on their behalf. My goal is to ensure every client feels informed, supported, and confident in their coverage choices.
I am a graduate of Eastern Michigan University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My education enhances my ability to understand client needs, communicate effectively, and build lasting professional relationships.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on adventures with my dog, and getting lost in a good book.
Through every client interaction, I am committed to delivering thoughtful guidance and dependable support. Helping individuals and businesses move forward with clarity and confidence.
