CO-FOUNDERS AND FRIENDS FOR OVER 30+ YEARS
PAUL CASTNER- CEO and President of Healthcare
MIKE KILLMEYER- COO & President of Operations
Paul Castner started out his path in the insurance industry by working at one of the Nation’s Top Medicare carriers. He began in the broker services department, under strong leadership who encouraged him to always pursue learning and trusting his skill set. From there he joined their sales team and had some of the best in class mentors along the way who not only strengthened his knowledge of the insurance products but also the importance it was to the population it served. His next step took him to a medium sized agency where he fine tuned some other skill sets needed to bring value to our communities we serve. With all he learned it was time for him to make his mark by building an revolutionary agency that was founded by agents for agents.
Michael Killmeyer obtained his insurance licensing while still working in another industry, but his passion to better serve the people with quality insurance options was always at the forefront of his mind. He partnered with Paul to develop a place that people could turn to and know they will be treated with dignity while being truly heard about what was most important to them when it came to their insurance needs. His knowledge in organizational management and leadership help to paint the way in the revolutionary new agency principle of an agency for agents by agents. Seeing the industry run by business professionals not having much or any actual field experience help to pave the ground work for what today has become a place where agents are a vital part of the direction C & K Healthcare Advisors advances.
