Employees insured

Carriers represented

19:21 Consultants was created to put people at the forefront of benefits and HR services. Instead of going with the agency model in conjunction with a large insurance provider, our founders decided to forge into the unknown - choosing the independent model and taking the leap into entrepreneurship for the betterment of our clients. The decision to go independent allowed our founders to further represent the business, rather than any one carrier, and advocate for its employees.

People remain at the heart of 19:21’s purpose but have far surpassed just providing insurance. 19:21’s goal is to be a strategic partner for growing businesses because we understand the trials associated with entrepreneurship.

A FAMILY COMPANY

Meet Our Leadership Team

19:21 Consultants was founded on family: a husband & wife and father & son partnership.

We were grown and seasoned in the Voluntary Benefit sector but slowly grew our skill set and knowledge as clients needed more. Over time, we realized we were able to provide the complete solution for employers and businesses.

We each have our niches and our specialties combined to form a full team to serve you every day and every way.
