I’m Rob Michaelson, owner of Optimal Insurance Group in Boca Raton, Florida, where I simplify Medicare so people can choose the right plan with confidence. Born and raised in Ohio, I earned a Psychology degree from the University of Cincinnati and an MBA from Nova Southeastern University. After years in Fortune 500 management, I became a licensed Health and Life Insurance agent because I found my passion in helping people with their coverage.
