Hi, I'm Justin Bishop.
Most people in this industry have been doing this since I was in middle school. That's not a knock on them — there are some incredible veteran agents out there. But it does mean a lot of insurance advice still sounds like it was written for your parents.
I do things differently.
Why "That Young Insurance Guy"?
I started this business in October 2020, right after I finished my degree in Accounting and Finance at the University of North Georgia. And I kept watching friends my age get blindsided by the same stuff over and over:
"I didn't know my employer's plan was THIS expensive once I left."
"My parents kicked me off their insurance and I had no idea what to do."
"Term, whole, IUL — I have no clue, I just signed whatever they sent me."
"My mom's about to age into Medicare and we don't know where to start."
Insurance touches every big moment in your life — getting sick, losing a job, having a kid, buying a house, starting a business, watching parents get older. But the way most agents talk about it makes you want to nap.
So I built That Young Insurance Guy on a simple idea:
Treat people like they're smart. Talk to them like they're family. Quote it like it's your own money.
That's the whole brand.
What I Actually Do
I'm an independent insurance broker — meaning I don't work for one carrier. I work for you. I shop the market, I explain the tradeoffs in plain English, and I tell you which plan I'd buy if it were my own family.
Here's what I help with:
Health insurance — for individuals, families, and the self-employed (ACA, Georgia Access, private plans)
Life insurance — term, whole, and final expense
Helping older Atlanta adults and adult children plan for final expense coverage is a regular part of my work. See Final Expense Insurance: The Policy Most Atlantans Overlook for the full breakdown.
Medicare — Advantage, Supplement (Medigap), and Part D
Helping Atlanta retirees navigate Medicare enrollment timing is a regular part of my work. See When Should I Sign Up for Medicare? The 6 Windows Explained for the full breakdown
Helping Atlanta retirees understand and lower their Medicare costs is a regular part of my work. See What Does Medicare Cost in 2026? for the full breakdown.
Group health for small businesses
Helping Atlanta medical and dental practice owners design benefits that work for both the owner and the female-majority clinical staff is one of my most-requested services. See What Health Insurance Should Atlanta Medical Practices Offer? for the framework

Homeowners and renters insurance
Auto insurance

Business insurance for LLCs and small companies — liability, workers' comp, BOP
If your situation crosses a few of those — say, you're 1099 with a mortgage, two kids, and you're starting an LLC on the side — that's exactly where an independent broker pulls ahead of a single-carrier agent. I can quote across all those lines and bundle where it saves you money.
How I Work
It's pretty boring on purpose. No high-pressure sales tactics, no "limited time offers," no calling you eight times in two days.
You tell me what's going on. 15 minutes by phone, video, or a quick form fill if you'd rather not talk yet.
I shop the market. I'm contracted with most major carriers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna, Cigna, Mutual of Omaha, and more) plus ACA and Medicare marketplaces.
I send you 2–3 real options with the math — not "this one's the best, sign here." You'll see what each plan covers, what it costs, and where the tradeoffs are.
You decide. If now's not the right time, that's fine — I'll check back when it is.
The whole thing usually wraps in under a week.
Why "Young" is Actually a Feature
I get asked this a lot, so let me just put it out there:
Younger broker, different toolkit:
I run my business on phone, text, email, and video. Whatever you prefer. You don't need to come to an office.
I can compare 8 carriers in 20 minutes because the tools I use are built for that. Older agents often have one carrier they push because that's the system they learned 25 years ago.
I understand 1099s, side hustles, marketplace subsidies, HSAs, and gig income — because I lived it.
I'm in this for the long haul. Most insurance relationships are 20, 30, 40 years. Pick someone who'll still be here when your kids are buying their first life policy.
If you'd rather work with a 60-year-old in a tie at a strip-mall office — no judgment, there's a place for that. But if you want someone who answers texts, doesn't drown you in jargon, and genuinely enjoys this work, that's me.

What People Ask Me Most
"Are you actually licensed in my state?" Probably yes — I'm in 31. Call or text the number below and I'll confirm in 30 seconds.
"How do you get paid? Is the quote really free?" Yes, the quote is free. Always. Insurance carriers pay brokers a commission when a policy is placed — that comes out of the carrier's marketing budget, not your premium. You pay the same price whether you go through me or directly to the carrier. The difference is you get someone in your corner.
"Why should I use a broker instead of going to Healthcare.gov myself?" You absolutely can go direct. Plenty of people do. The reason to work with a broker is (a) we shop on- and off-marketplace, so you see plans the .gov site won't show you, (b) we know which subsidies you actually qualify for, and (c) when you have a claim issue or a billing problem in February, you call me — not a 1-800 number.
"What if I just have a quick question?" Text me. (706) 988-1930. I'd rather answer one quick question and not get your business than ghost you and hope you forget.
Ready to Talk?
Easiest path: call or text (706) 988-1930. I usually answer in under an hour during business hours, and same-day on texts.
Or book a free 15-minute consult and I'll come prepared with options.
No spam. No follow-up sequences designed to wear you down. If now's not the right time, that's fine.
