Operation Insight

Staff Sergeant Chris Miller

Join us on Operation Insight as we host Staff Sergeant Chris Miller
 
Soon after graduating from De Soto High School, just south of St. Louis, MO, Chris joined the Army Reserves in September 2000. There wasn't a war on, and Chris wasn't expecting much from his time in the service. That all changed merely a year later when America was attacked on 9/11. Chris soon found himself wrestling with a burning moral obligation to deploy and join the fight. Eventually, in 2007, Chris got his wish and deployed to Iraq with Bravo Company of the 321st Engineer Battalion in support of "Task Force Pathfinder". Much of SSG Miller's deployment to Ramadi, Iraq, was spent neutralizing IEDs as part of a route clearance team. That experience would forge his character and completely reshape his life. Chris now works for the Wounded Warrior Project at their St. Louis branch. He and his wife Stephanie live locally and have three daughters.

Joe has traveled several interesting, exciting, and successful career paths in his life including leader and bass player for the rhythm and blues rock and soul horn band The Spirit of St. Louis, musical artist manager touring with The Moody Blues and the band Chicago, owner/operator of Rumbolo’s Deli On The Hill in St. Louis, MO, radio talk show host, creator and co-founder if the Awakening Zone Radio Network presenting 51 shows in 12 languages from all over the world, facilitator and certified transformational trainer.
When he retired, Boredom immediately set-in and he began his search for his “Retirement Career.” He initially found it as a Medicare agent with United Health Care but soon discovered that he could be more effective as a broker, representing many carriers, so he joined Comprehensive Benefits and now represents all the major carriers.
Joe is not only a broker, but he is on Medicare, too, just like you. His training and experience as a broker, along with being a beneficiary allows him to expertly guide you through the mine field that is Medicare
Currently, Joe is a Licensed Medicare Broker, representing all of the major carriers, and he especially works closely with Veterans who use the VA, surviving spouses who have ChampVA and Veterans who have Tricare for Life, as well as anyone who is on Medicare.
